For the sake of your sanity and your recovery, I hope you can find that extra well of energy to get out of there. “Bad drug” is such an accurate description. When I worked for Kohl’s Corporate, it was like this. I grew addicted to the churn and burn even though I hated it with every fiber. But when I finally got out, despite the difficulty of learning a new role (and new-to-me technology), I remember thinking: damn I wish I had left that soul-sucking hellhole sooner. I hope your “darkest before dawn” hour is now, and the light starts to crack through.
Catching up on my inbox--thank you so much for this comment and for reading, E.L. Missing you in Friday morning group, and definitely words I needed to hear as I search for other opportunities and both crawl towards and claw at the light.
