I just finished my final day working in a retail department store that ruined my mental health since a couple of months working there. I’ve been working there since April of 2022 and I thought I would be okay working there for 2 years max, but because of being a shopaholic there, the toxic environment, my bossy and bitter manager; customers, and others that made me so depressed have become way too much for me to handle. I decided that it would be best for me to leave early in order to be happy and stable with my mental health.
Also my final semester in college had just started today in which academics are something I really need to focus on (despite hating school) I really need to pass and graduate! Even though I’m “unemployed” for now, I just feel a sense of relief from the negativity and the stress I carried through that one year and couple of months working there.
