There may be something to letting yourself cry, to being uncomfortable, and hanging in there. Don't know. ...I would try to hang on till you find something else at least. ...I think it is OK to play a role for a while...sometimes it becomes your own, sometimes not---acting is a respectable job...who says you can't use those kind of skills in other lines of work?
The workplace is very hard for me. Several months ago, I took a job that was my second choice. In my heart I struggled with it for almost three months before I started to feel comfortable with it. I still wish I could have gotten my first choice in a job. But if I don't I think I may be ok anyway.
