i am so miserable at work. i have been looking for work and a company i applied to over summer reached out for a different position and i was so excited. i got my hopes up and i thought it went well but i got the reject notice right before i had to hop on a zoom an hour ago. i just wanted to sit and cry in my zoom meeting. i’m so burnt out and empty.

I am so sorry you're going through such a challenging time. It's commendable that you're handling a job that causes you this much suffering and still trying to find a way to escape it. Do not give up the job search. You are better than the job you're in right now and there is a better opportunity out there for you.
Also it's okay to cry about these things. It's hard to hear rejection on a good day. Message me if you want to vent about anything.

hi OP, first off really sorry to hear you’re going through this. Also in the midst of the job search and understand how hard of a hit these rejections can take because the light at the end of the tunnel feels snatched away. Can absolutely empathize with the feelings of helplessness.

i’m in the same boat OP. actively looking. let me know if you wanna connect. we can cry together
