Hi None,

You don’t have to stay in a job that you hate. Take the lesson you learned about office politics and relationships from this job, and try to find a new job that you love. A fresh start can be almost magical. As you search for a job, decide on the impression you want to leave the office with. Be straightforward with your boss, and ask if there is anything you can do to make working there better before you leave.

You also don’t have to be around people who make you feel bad anymore than you need to. Decide on who is most important to you, and try to avoid people who only make you feel worse. Try to surround yourself with good people and find ways to make their lives better.

I know that you are depressed because of your father’s illness and other dramas, but try to focus on the good you do have in your life, and the hope that is in the future. Focus on creating possibilities instead of being dragged down by regrets.
