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.

I almost quit my job today but I didn't have the courage to walk into my boss' office. (Vent) (lemmy.world)

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.

I've been there.

I'm so sorry. I suffer from depression and worked in a job where I was treated badly for a decade.

Apart from the other advice on the thread, I just wanted to add to make sure to get as much savings as possible in place, update your resume on LinkedIn, and have some prospects lined up first if possible before quitting. Not only is it just good practice, but quitting while completely secure is so much fucking fun.

Thank you for your kind words. You have no idea how much they mean to me. I am crying in my car reading them now
