I Thought A New Job Would Solve All My Problems

I spent years chasing career stability in the federal government, only to realize the system was not what I imagined. This is my story of reassessing what security really means. Growing up, I watched my mother and aunts find security working for the federal government. I thought following that path was the ultimate answer to my worries about health insurance and future planning. However, recent changes have made me rethink the entire concept of job security. This is a candid reflection on professional burnout and the reality of navigating a workplace disability that others cannot see. When the environment you relied on for safety begins to feel hostile, it forces you to prioritize your own well-being. My journey has been one of significant personal growth as I learn to define my worth outside of my employer.
