Your résumé does not love you. It doesn’t wait for your texts. It will not tell stories about you after you’re gone. Do not worry about what your résumé thinks. He’s the one who put you in this pressure cooker in the first place. If you’re worried what people will think about this move, tell them you’re passionate about pushing your own boundaries and wanted to try something new. That sounds good.

cont'd - new role would let me work from home, bc they're based out of state. but I'm fearful of what that transition would look like on the resume 3 or so years from now.

am I really sacrificing that much?

Covid has been hard. March 2029- December 2020 I drank a lot to cope without realizing it. January- March I didn't realize I was depressed. March I came to terms with increase and ongoing suicidal ideation and needed help.

I went into a intensive outpatient program (IOP) which has been super helpful.

During the beginning of covid I drank every day and in a great deal. January it was a "dry" month which was hard the first week but overall great.

March 2021 realized I'm clinically depressed.
