Today, I made the tough decision to quit my job at a small café where I had been working for a year. It was a great place with kind owners, a supportive manager, and wonderful coworkers, but the working conditions were really taking a toll on my mental health. The café rarely sees customers, which meant I often found myself sitting alone for long stretches, and the environment was far from clean. There was a persistent issue with cockroaches, which is particularly distressing for me due to my phobia. Despite my efforts to address the cleanliness issues and my requests for pest control, nothing changed. I felt guilty leaving such a supportive team, especially since my manager had worked around my college schedule and even promoted me. Now, I have a trial week lined up at a coffee shop, but it’s not guaranteed yet, and I’m feeling anxious about the uncertainty of my next steps. I’m reaching out for advice on how to cope with this feeling of dread about the unknown.
