I had a similar experience where I worked over the summer. That place did a real number on my self-esteem and I'm STILL dealing with some of the mental/emotional stress months after I quit. I did not understand my job description very well, was not trained properly and was not told what I was supposed to be doing most of the time, I was just expected to figure it out on my own and it somehow became my fault when I wasn't doing something right. Employers don't always see their employees as fallible beings. But you're human, you make mistakes and I think after all you've been dealing with lately it's amazing that you even CAN work. I'm not sure I'd be able to; I don't know how you do it!

Try to remember that your job doesn't define you, okay? If you're having a hard time, it says absolutely NOTHING about you as a person. Sending lots and LOTS of hugs.

we pushed you down deep in our souls, so hang on.

I pushed you down deep in my soul for too long.
