Discrimination is not a personal screw-up; we have to "tell it like it is" and set healthy boundaries and point out unfair practices. I would look at the other side and see my "worth" and how unfortunate it would be if I were to take my life experiences and go elsewhere!

I had a bad working situation where my boss was not going to change. My T told me I had the choice of changing jobs or getting depressed. I found myself a "third" way as there were aspects of myself, the "situation," and other situations at work not directly/immediately related to my job (other relationships) that I still wanted to explore. Something is always bound to "give" when there's "tension" of any sort, I work to make sure I'm not the one who is going to snap :-) but if I get "flung" to a new area of my life, to a new experience, that's fine, I try to look on it as an adventure.

I deliberately worked part-time for over 10 years so I could start and stop jobs "at will" because I had trouble with starting and quitting jobs, was always anxious. I decided I wanted to work on that and as soon as I realized I "control" my coming and goings and can have my own plans, etc. I quit being so concerned what the companies working for me :-) were doing.
