I'm learning how to give up on things that no longer serve me

This church group I'm in makes me upset and does not meet my needs.

I've never been happy with any job I've had. I've always stayed at them too long, causing SO much stress, and anxiety.

My immediate family (mom, dad, siblings) are fake and 90% of our gatherings seem inauthentic. Actions speak a lot louder than words.

I'm no longer going to ignore my feelings.
I'm no longer going to persevere through a job that leaves me feeling drained and terrible about the job and myself because how I'm treated.

Hate that I have no one to turn to but, I'll survive

@robertsnj [quote]what needs did you have from the church?[/quote] support. They have these groups called "life groups", but we don't see each other outside of the once a week zoom meetings. How is that a [b]life[/b] group?
I like to skate, I like all kinds of festivals, museums, I do a dance workout class several times a week (Initially once a week)

@iamnikki oh wow you are active and that is a lot to work with ! So you may have to look for a church that has more social activity / I apologize what faith are we talking about? find a church group that does museums / and if not dance class in church join lifetime fitness YMCA or somethng........You are well on your way to finding fun and social activity! I hope you are feeilng better. You have a lot to work with being so active . This is a hiccup and you will move past it. Oh and you are awesome Nikki 😎

@robertsnj I have found a church that I plan to visit in person on Sunday. If I like it, I will be sure to get contact information of group leaders. They have outings once a month per the website.
