The last meeting I had before my break was with an aggressively toxic team. It left me stressed through the holidays.
My boyfriend had to work Christmas and New Years which left me alone a lot of my time off.
Today I was supposed to go back to work and I just couldn’t. I called in sick and had a mini-breakdown with my boyfriend.
Something needs to change for me but I’m not sure what. My stress levels are unmanageable. I keep feeling like I’m putting off living a happy, healthy, life until I can retire.

The tragedy is, this is not abnormal anymore. Especially not in the U.S.
You absolutely deserve to feel that way no matter your gratitude. I was not trying to criticize you and I’m sorry if I came off that way. It’s a tragedy because a lot of people are pretty entitled to feel like that. Including plenty of people who used to be considered middle class.
Absolutely quit that job. It’s not worth the damage it’s causing to you. If you can’t just up and leave, spend your downtime and free time on the hunt and just bounce when you get a new gig.
Your happiness has value, and if this company isn’t contributing to that value, they’re not giving you enough.

True. And I recognize that I have a lot more to be grateful for than most. Today just hit me a lot harder than usual.
I had a laughing fit as I walked towards my front door this morning.
It’s so absurd, I laughed. But there was nothing funny.

Yeah that resonates with me too
Sounds like an awful place to work. What field you in? Do you know of any better places to work out there?
You couldn’t go and spend time with your mates on New Year’s Eve at least? Surely it’s just a case of joining a party?
