I measure myself on how well I keep my anxiety down (self-care), how much I learn each day that will help my future, and how much I help others (even if they don't help me back). Those 3 things are what matter to me at work (besides getting paid). I have been looking for a new job, but I am ok with waiting to find the right fit.

Hope, I think the key is to find a way to move away from taking what they do personally. Mentally, we can't give them the power to 'measure' how we are performing on the job. They are broken. How can they measure us and what does their respect really mean?
Thank you soooo much! This is really helpful. I like your perspective. Yes they are very broken. I do need to exercise self care in my situation. And I need to reframe it another way so that I can cope better. That really helps!!!! Hugs!
