Feeling surprisingly ok today!

Definitely, and thank you for your words!

I contemplated the toxic job issue for 2 years and had to go to therapy within that time. I did all the things they told me, hit all my goals but things were still bad. My therapist and doctor pretty much told me, you're going to have to find a way in years time to get out of there and go back to school. I was 5 years stuck not moving forward, or making enough in a highly stressful environment outside having insurance and barely paying rent.

A family member jumped in and helped me with some medical things and money and just said I want to see you in school not struggling anymore. I went through cancer, addiction, bad job, dental issues and was on track to end up off very badly. I am very gracious this family member stepped in and gave me a years salary to go back to school and leave that job. Now I'll be taking time off for health, enrolling back and getting a part time job/low stress. I've also had a lot of positive results running my own pc repair living in a commercial area, so in some ways I haven't missed a beat.
