A couple of weeks ago I quit a job I hated and was really lucky to be offered a pretty good new job almost immediately.

The new job was in another city, close to where my brother lives so I was going to stay with him for a while.

After I accepted the job and on the day I did my first shift my brother told me he was moving to a new flat in the same city,  but he planned to crash with a friend for a bit in between houses to avoid an overlap in rent.

I totally panicked knowing that I wouldn't be able to do the job without staying with him. My only option would have been to rent a room in a flatshare with a stranger to keep the job. After having a mini breakdown (I cried on a train) not knowing what to do I quit the job before things got worse.

10 days later my brother unexpectedly got a new place he can move in to immediately, and I could have kept the job after all and everything would have been fine (but I can't go back to them after quitting)

Now I have to keep on applying for jobs with this bad experience weighing me down and demoralising me. 

It's kinda unsettled me and killed my confidence to know that that is how I reacted in that situation. I thought I had improved a lot but I guess I've just been comfortable and not had to face big problems for a while.
