So, I quit my call centre job. Had to go back to my psych after a mental health crisis and she advised that call centres are prolly tied to some trauma (most of my exp was while I was with my ex).
So I quit. My mental health is more important, even if it might take me longer to get where I want to go.
I'm kind of okay with this. It takes a special kind of person to sit tied to a phone and PC for 8-12 hours a day, and it's okay that I can't do that anymore.
