Dear sossi:

Good to read from you, but not good to read how much you suffer. It’s okay for you to share here about your suffering, as long as it helps if only a bit, to type it away, and having someone read it.

I am not surprised to read about a toxic work environment, as it is not uncommon. I just wish it was different for you, I wish you worked in a place where you were appreciated and rewarded for your hard work and dedication. You wrote that money is tight and if I understand correctly, it is likely to be difficult for you to find another job. But if it is at all possible for you to go on disability (due to your body being harmed by the toxic work environment), or some other social program, so that you can rest and recover before looking for a new job- I wish you’d go that route. Maybe seeing a lawyer is a good idea, a lawyer that specializes in work related/ employment issues?
