I put in my resignation on Friday...what did I do!?!?!
I thought finally putting in my resignation (which wont be till the end of April) would provide me with relief, but instead a whole new set of emotions/concerns/worries have arrived. I'm processing how much of my identity is formed from the work I do, with the clients and coworkers I do it with. I worked very hard to get to where I am in my career-a bachelors, a masters, 3000 clinical hours, being ready to sit for my license exams. I also have pretty great employers with respectable pay (nothing fancy, but far from minimum wage)- and I'm letting it all go...
...To be with my son- thats the part I forget when I sit in the poor me I wont have a job state of mind. I hope we can make it financially, I hope I can make emotionally, and when I do return to work I hope I find a place I like as much as this job.
Best of luck to you! You'll grow in ways you couldn't have imagined before, and you will be able to find another job when the time is right.
