I put in my resignation this week at the job I've been in for over 4 years. It was supposed to be my dream job and I loved the work but the supervisor and office politics have been destroying my health.

It's been a long time coming and this week was the breaking point. I was told I was getting a promotion, then a week later I was told I was going to be taking on the new responsibilities but without a title change or pay raise. 

Enough was enough. I've worked too hard on myself through DBT to continue to accept how I was being treated. I almost stopped seeing my therapist at one point because we disagreed on what I may need to do about this job.

I feel free and empowered to start something new, but also terrified. I have some interviews lined up for entry-level work at large corporations. I've been in small non-profits my entire life but I'm ready to restart as a small fish in a big pond.

I've been defined my whole life by my job and career field. I'm ready to redefine my true self.

If any of you think to do so, please send good energy for me and my journey into newness and my true identity. This will be a time of growth and pain walking hand-in-hand.
