RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

Update: Thank you for all your kind words. I am now crying in my car reading your comments in my work's garage. My shift starts soon. I am going to dry my face first and think about resignation.

I feel so awful. I have multiple panic attacks. I want to cry. My body feels like it is not mine. I want to quit but my legs are like noodles. I can't even get up.

I know it is all in my head (perhaps) but I really think people don't trust me anymore. I don't trust myself too.

Please don't send me any self harm alert. I am not thinking about that. I just want to vent.

If you really feel the need to quit your job, you might consider making a resignation letter, expressing why you're quitting, and proofread that at least 3 times.

Edit: Try to be polite and professional about it. And keep a copy for your own records, in case your boss might try talking lies and bullshit about you.

Thank you for your kind words. As I have replied to others, I am crying reading all the comments.

And then stick it in a drawer and forget about it until the next day. Then re-read it with fresh eyes after a good night’s sleep.

Letting a full day pass before re-reading it should help give you confidence to decide if it’s the right thing to do or not.

This is fantastic advice.
