You are not alone. I left my job at the end of April due to a lying, abusive boss with anger management issues, wo was giving me panic attacks and anxiety. Unfortunately, it was not amicable. He thinks I betrayed him.

Like you, I am having a hard time to see what is going to come next. I have worked mainly from home for years, so working in an office all day is not something I want to do. I also have a very needy dog that doesn't handle being alone all day, so that really limits what I can apply for. I have applied to a few freelance things, but nothing yet, and am exploring a small business idea. At least my husband makes good money, but I feel badly about not contributing financially.

The whole situation has done a number on my self-esteem and confidence too, especially since I was out of work for a while before I started the last job. I began the last job with hope that it would be a good opportunity. I worked hard and did my best to contribuite. But after a year and a half of mistreatment and broken promises, I was left an emotional mess.

It sounds like a visit to your counselor would be a positive first step. Hopefully, they can help you with some of your self-esteem/confidence issues. Hugs!!
