I was today years old when I found out maternity leave isn’t paid through your company

How absolutely silly of me to think companies were the ones paying you for the 12 week leave (in CA), then finding out applying through EDD will only give you 8 weeks of pay at 60-70% of your rate ‍ I have been dreaming of quitting my ugly toxic job for a while, and now my husband and I made the dumb decision to start a family in this economy and I am just baffled thinking how I gotta go back to work asap. Just found out I'm pregnant and maybe it's the hormones but holy shit it all feels so hopeless. Hiding in the bathroom right now telling myself I just have to make it until October for my apparent due date. Yay
