I quit a toxic job a few months ago. Scariest thing I've ever done. Best decision I ever made :)

It's easy to quit something toxic, but how do you quit something where all people are well-meaning and friendly and trying to help you, but you are autistic and they simply don't understand what that is? (And you also don't know you are autistic yourself yet)

That was my first uni where I dropped out at winter.

I feel you, I dropped out of community college twice before I learned enough about how my brain works to finally find a program I could complete. First quarter: 4.0, second quarter: 0.0. Both times :(

Wester Governors University, an online program, was perfect for me and my ADHD. I didn't finish quickly, or as cheaply as I had hoped, but I was able to finish.

Yeah, I'm still almost there, literally have only the final thesis left.

It's Russia and online programs here are generally not very good, and this attempt is night school. But maybe I'll do that before turning 29, ha-ha.

That's amazing, against the odds you're rocking it :) I'm rooting for you!

Right?! That shit IS scary. Crossing the fucking rubicon.

May I ask why? And if i might, why?

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I quit without a plan. I just knew I was done and that was that.

The best you could do. Quit toxic things and/or people.
