And it's not because anyone was mistreating me or anything. I was offered a summer job at a graphic design company that is responsible for setting up a bunch of newspapers. I was thrilled, excited, and happy to use my education for something related. Then after just one and a half week I had a mental breakdown over the amount of work and stress. I had underestimated it, this I own up to. I had wanted to work in a newspaper ever since I was a teen and it had been a dream come true. But I realized this kind of environment is too hectic for me. Had this been 10 years ago I would've tried to stick it out and probably run my mental health to the ground from stress.

Finally at year 4 I could barely get out of bed I was so depressed. The day I quit she said yeah I don’t think there ever was an assistant job for you) Basically just endured abuse for my last 2 years working there. Anyways, quit and continued to clean twice a week at the store for 1.5 additional years- easy extra money). Went in after closing, never had to…
