I understand intellectually, but I have zero emotional control despite my best effort. Thinking constantly about that GM is exhausting. Therefore I have no energy left to handle any amount of stress. Short fuse is when you were hit so quick with overwhelming feelings that you have no time to think it through. You just explode.

I handle stress better when I could prepare in advance, but it’s impossible to predict EVERYTHING that could possibly happen. Such as when my helpfulness wasn’t acknowledged. That literally made me fight or flight.

Are you saying they’ll fire me if I don’t quit? It’ll help my decision
