I am wishing you the best of luck on your new job. It sounds both interesting and exciting. Hopefully the people there will be okay and not stress you out.

Having worked in a toxic work environment I can empathize with you.


here were a lot of "toxic" people where I once worked. A psychiatrist gave me a tip on how to handle that and it eased my stress. He told me to imagine I was working in an insane asylum as a psychiatrist and that all my toxic coworkers were mental patients. I tried this and it allowed me to get some distance from their toxicity. I treated the situation with humor and was able to not let people get to me.

Not suggesting you do this. Just sharing what helped me.

Hopefully you will be blessed with having nice coworkers and bosses so that you don't need to resort to any strategies and tactics to keep going. Workplace stress can be really draining and demoralizing. I have my fingers crossed that everything will work out for the best for you. You deserve a break.
