Well, you aren't ugly or stupid.
I tell you, Poet. I stay at a job that isn't good for me emotionally or physically because it pays well and I have flexible hours. I think that's pretty stupid of me. So I admire you for leaving the job from h*ll. I wish I had the guts.
This may not be your dream job either. I'm sure it really is upsetting to get a pay cut for doing the same work. Do you like what you're doing?
My therapist says that it's easier to find a job when you're already employed. You've got a job now, but that doesn't mean you have to stop looking for one that will fulfill you on more levels. It just takes the pressure off.
I do understand. I'm going through a heavy bout of self hatred myself right now. I understand that telling you that you are funny, and smart, and terrific in so many ways might not seep through.
But...
Hmmm...
I'm not sure what will help.
Can you share with us some things that you're really good at? Or people who really value you?
