I finally took the leap and applied for a new job! I have an interview scheduled for Monday, and I'm hopeful that after the background check, I’ll soon be starting a new chapter. My current role at a hotel has been mostly great, but the constant face-to-face interactions for over two years have really taken a toll on my mental health. I’ve been struggling with anxiety and sleepless nights, even on my days off. The new position will be in cleaning, which I know will be more physically demanding than my current desk job, but it only requires four hours of work in the evenings, five days a week. This means less direct interaction with people, which I think will really help my anxiety. I’m fortunate to be in a position where I can accept a pay cut since I live at home with my mother. I’ll be making about $800 every two weeks, totaling $1600 a month after taxes. Here’s to hoping for a positive change!
