I've left behind my job as a full time worker and downsized my hours. I am relieved and will be okay, but I also feel very stunned over this. It doesn't help that the bully at work I mentioned was being tacky again in front of me and I ignored her childish behaviour.

I would never give up anything for anyone, but I just had to walk away and downsize it this time, and my ego is hurt for it, but I also am dealing with anxiety and depression and know this wouldn't have helped, so now I have time to go for intensive therapy, which I wouldn't have had before. I'm glad this is happening, but I just don't feel like celebrating. I feel very calm right now, almost like the calm before a storm. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?

If you have bills, I'd be sweating it. If you have a nice nest egg and no debt, congrats!

...ooohh and I am not speaking without knowing what you went through, I once had a co-worker want my job so bad that she would go around telling lies about me. She even went so far as telling my boss that she knew how much I earned and would do my exact same job for a few thousand less a year. Bitch finally got fired!

i'm sure the relief knowing you don't have to deal with that person causing you stress is very palpable!

I'm less than 7 years away from retirement. I ain't quitting nothing.

I have a few things to pay off, but it's very little. I've saved up enough to be in a position to walk away I think, so I don't feel as bad. I just feel like my pride has been hurt even though I feel better about the situation now.

I will still see the bitch time to time.
