It definitely tugged the heart strings and I almost caved, but I held strong. On the last day I got so many hugs, so many said I’ll miss you”, so many said “Let’s keep in touch” and “Please come back. There will always be a spot for you here”. I reached out to a few of the co-workers over the months. Never heard back. I don’t say this to be cruel-nobody actually cares. I mean-we here on the forum care about you and your wellbeing but in the professional world it’s different.

Thanks, Jersey. It helps to hear your perspective. I'm glad you didn't cave. And I"m sorry you never heard back from those co-workers.
Realized I never updated the Couch: I decided to leave the account that I'm struggling with, despite their kind words (and their words weren't even directly to me). I'm trying out the other journal.
