My last job, the boss was verbally abusive and it took its toll on my mental health given what happened to me in high school. The flashbacks started all over again. HR tried to resolve it but nothing worked. It sent me into major depression. Filed for FMLA and never went back. I couldn't work for over a decade after this.

Before that, I worked in a hospital and loved it but my grandparents started to decline suddenly;I had to move out of state to take care of them.

I was working 2 jobs at the same time, neither had benefits, and left both to work 1 job full time alone that offered benefits.

Took a part-time job senior year to get back into it, safer retail position where I knew people. Left because went away to college.

Sophomore year of high school I was physically assaulted at work at my part-time job....left and couldn't go back to work for some time.

First job was at a bakery. Loved it but left to make more money. In hindisght, I learned money isn't everything, a lesson learned young.
