Is anyone else constantly anxious about losing your job?

Yes. I am a person of color and the way I am treated daily is shocking. No matter how cool I am and no matter how many people go out of their way to tell everyone how much they like me, I am fired for not being a good fit. I have to battle men asking me about my dating life, family life, age, where I live, race....and they're not happy with a vague or even direct answer. If I tell my age, they want to know the year I graduate high school. If I tell them what city I live in they want to know what street. I've been fired at every single job I've been at. So one day I decided to be assertive and tell the man sexually harassing me that he needed to stop. I was fired. My only friend at work helped me get fired. The shocking part? The co-worker who was sexually assaulting her almost lost his job when I reported him and then physically defended my "friend" by forcing him to leave and telling him that he was not allowed back in the office unless the boss was here. I was so distraught I stopped eating. I do have to say that I was not easy to work with and wasn't doing a good job. So this was not a case of poor me. Since then I struggle so bad anytime something bad happens that I have anxiety attacks. Over time, I get fired because of my panic. I also start withdrawing. I'm fighting hard with this job but these male therapists are so hard to manage. All of the skills of assertiveness and professionalism that I perfected are no match against people who have doctorate degrees in psychology.
