I was placed on administrative leave today while my boss confers with the HR department regarding whether I will be fired or not. I have spent 22 years building a successful reputation, but have noted that the past 4-5 years have been extremely unsatisfying. I'm completely burned out. I'm single & can turn to no one for help. My family is not close. I have depleated my resources financially. I think about what is worth this suffering. I have a little dog, Lola, who needs me. That's it, but it's enough to feel like I'd rather come up with a plan to turn life into a better place to live. I have no idea. I'm exhausted, humiliated & terrified that my aging brain can not do what I once did. I feel completely alone & I am terrified.
