I didnt expect to be in this situation at 65 years of age and with my life experiences I have gone through my life coping very well and dealing with everything the best way I could. Finding myself in a toxic working environment and the impact this had on me as a person with no working/life balance, just work, work work, nothing can prepare you for the toxic, narcissistic people who can change everything about yourself and leave you feeling worthless. Even trying to educate yourself against all this and learning to try and cope faced with all this did not help, the only way out was to give up my job to escape all this. Being of this age, with my mobility issues due to osteoarthritis and osteoperosis, and ending up feeling totally worthless due to working environment, feels like no amount of online coping modules is really helping me get past this part of my life right now, maybe this type of therapy is not for me at this stage. Being on medication for the osteoarthritis/depression causes side effects that only adds to everything, maybe I need more time for everything to do their job and move forward, I did not expect to feel like this at this stage of my life.

You didnt do anything wrong and maybe if this had happened to me 30/40 years earlierI with this type of support I would have bounced back much quicker and be a better person for it, just not feeling the benefits like I should be right now.
