I can't realistically go through retail hell again. I can't mentally handle what handling customers does to me. It drives me insane. All the world wants is retail, customer service, jobs where sitting isn't allow. When does it stop? How long is it going to take to get my covered desk job?

Hoping you find something soon. I didn't mind retail as much as call center work, since when behind the phone they are a bit braver in yelling at you. However due to issues, I have just been doing freelance and hoping a non phone job opens up soon. Good luck.

I just learned I was parentified severely, especially emotionally. The discovery came from outside of therapy, but having a place every week to sit down, slow down & reflect def led to it. Being enmeshed with my parents like this was a cause for my anxiety, low self esteem and workaholic, people pleasing tendencies. I'm working on extricating myself and finding my identity again in a way that will be easy on my conscience and values..so I'm learning! Please dont hesitate to go to therapy!...
