I wish I could tell you that getting a new job fixed everything. That I logged onto my shiny new laptop, tossed my previous workplace’s trauma in the trash, dusted off my hands, and never looked back.

But you can’t just toss your trauma in the trash. :(

After my friend gave me the loving shouting wake-up call, I stopped seeing my Crying Appointment as some personal failing and started seeing it for what it actually was: a cry for help.

Once I acknowledged that, what came rushing in was anger.
