  1. 1

    I was let go from my dream job after just four months, and it's been haunting me ever since. I took a huge leap last year, applying for a position I never thought I would land. The experience was intense, working 12-hour days, and ultimately, it ended in disappointment. For the past few months, I've been trying to find my footing again. I now have a new job that isn't as glamorous but helps pay the bills, and I've even started two side hustles that I genuinely enjoy. Despite my efforts to move forward, I can't shake off the memories of my old job—both the highs and the lows. I often find myself daydreaming about my failures there, even while I'm at my current job. Recently, I experienced sleep paralysis for the second time in my life, and both episodes were tied to my old job. I'm scheduled to see a therapist soon, and maybe this rant is just a way to vent. It's been eight months since I was let go, and while I feel like I've moved on, my subconscious seems stuck in the past. I'm looking for advice on how to make these dreams stop.
