Jobs do suck... but at least it gives one some sense of doing something.

and you are determined... you shall prevail.

you'll get through it Trippin! Maybe after you are there for a bit you will start to seem some positives, or things you like, maybe nice people. Glad you are still feeling ok mood wise.

Think of it as an opportunity - you can earn a salary, and it gives you something to not be bored. No doubt there will always be some skills you are learning from this job too.

Well done for going back to work. I hope your mood also continues to stay stable

For sure!
Trippin, I think it will probably be easier to look for new employment from a position of currently being employed. Well done on getting onto the first rung of your new ladder

Celebrate the triumphs - you did it! Now just take one day at a time.... Sounds like your new job comes with challenges but taken in baby steps will help. And like tsunami said - take the new skills you're learning and keep them close for you will one day again no doubt use them. Good for you! Hang in there!
