I recently made the tough decision to leave my job after nearly two years due to the overwhelming stress it was causing me. My health took a hit, and I had to seek medical advice, which revealed I might need further treatment. While stepping away from this role has alleviated some immediate stress, I’m still navigating my mental health and considering therapy for the future. I’ve been applying for new jobs every day, but the waiting game has been frustrating, as I keep hearing that my applications are still under consideration. I realize that I need to secure a position with benefits, especially since I’m living with my parents and need to take care of my health. I’m also looking into filing for unemployment but I'm unsure about the process. If anyone has advice on how to approach this or what steps I should take next, I would really appreciate it.
