How do you create a life outside of work?
How did you create a life outside of work? Particularly those who made work their life.
I am 26F, I work in a competitive industry and my first 4 years have been intense due to personal experiences (narcissistic mother, abuse and a whole lot). I was building my life from scratch, left home and work was literally all I had.
Now, I’m leaving my current employer after a lot of mistreatment and I’m excited as I am leaving so much more wiser and happier. It’s been a journey but I was discussing with my therapist... I don’t have a life really outside of work. I have friends that I sometimes one-sidedly maintain friendships with, I am single, overweight and just trying to figure it all out. I feel like getting a life outside of work will not lead me back to that dark place and work will not be able to break me down like this ever again. God forbid! I’ve done so much healing work and so ready for a new life, chapter, wins and so on!
I would be so grateful for your advice.
