Today, I decided to quit my job with nothing lined up because it made me miserable. I’ve never been so happy before in my life. I’m starting school in may for my masters program in psych so I can leave the industry completely. I’ve never been so turned off by my job until recently and I’m so happy to have escaped with what little sanity I have left.

Very happy for you... I assume you have some sort of funding to make this happen? Don’t answer. I’m just green with envy. I’m 2.5 decades into the misery of this business, but I don’t have a way out that I can afford. Glad you’re escaping, make us proud.

There’s no reason you have to put up with a job you hate. I spent many years working in a toxic environment with a boss who gossiped and lead through fear. He wasn’t really much of a leader but basically a foreman. And he could make my existence miserable. I admit that it wasn’t easy to find another job but the bottom line is: trust your guts. If you feel something is wrong it’s because it probably is. Don’t second guess yourself. Look for options and and fight for your mental health.
