[quote=Anonymous]OP, from what you write, it seems like you have persevered through quite a lot of hardship. You must be a very strong and brave person to keep on working to get that next job and improve your situation. Four years of savings is quite a lot! Would you consider the idea of forgiving yourself for making the honest mistake of leaving that job so long ago? How could you have known it would be so hard to get another one? Instead of thinking "I messed up" think "wow, I survived!" It seems to me that using some of that savings to upgrade your apartment might really lift your spirits and feel like a fresh start. It's a long road to processing past trauma so you can focus on the good stuff, but it will be well worth the trouble. Hopefully you can start to see yourself as a hard-worker who did whatever she could to get herself into a better situation. And hopefully that will help you build some confidence and see your life more positively.[/quote]
