My dad was diagnosed with PD around 55yo. That was 12 years ago. The year he retired. And he always had it in his heart to get a Mini Cooper. He used to love driving. Could drive anywhere, any amount of hours. For the past years, my mom has become the main driver and caregiver. Still I help with certain things.

Anyway, he was talking about selling his Mini Cooper for the past weeks/months but never got around to actually going through with it. A few weeks ago we grieved the surgery we hoped he could have. And two days ago he told me he wanted to sell the car. It might seem silly but the fact that I took care of taking the pictures, setting up the page to sell it online really affected me. Because it’s saying goodbye to a part of his life that was supposed to be good. And I feel so angry that he is getting rid of it. I feel so much grieving every day and he might be ready to let it go but I’m not there yet.
My mom is also telling me to be supportive and not to show my emotions but I can’t help but feel sad. And it makes me feel guilty that I am feeling the way I do.

Today, I quit the new job I had because of toxic hustle culture and the non-profit not being a good fit with me, for a bunch of reasons. All of this after 2 weeks. It was to put it simply: toxic. I felt something was off from day one and (also found out yesterday I had to attend events that could potentially trigger my epilepsy). My first meeting with the general manager was today. She didn’t come before to welcome me or simply send a message, nothing even when she saw me around. The over all culture simply felt so odd I didn’t get any on-boarding but already had tasks and a full schedule. I felt deep down that it simply wasn’t meant for me. So I left.

Now of course I am scared that I won’t find a job for a while, but I simply couldn’t put myself through the madness while waiting. Because I have done that before and I lost myself in the process. It feels like a bold move but also the right one, even if like I said, I am scared of not having anything on my radar right now. I am back to looking.

Please no judging on the time I took to choose I wasn’t staying etc.

Hey everyone.

I am living such a dilemma right now. I was laid off back in July 2025. And I just got a job in a company I thought I would love. But after two days, I see how frantic the rhythm is and they are already giving me tasks without me even knowing how to get around in the system, etc.

It has remote work but also crazy rhythm from people expecting so many things and the same time.

The manager even mention that they work fast and it just sounded so overwhelming. I already cried and it’s not even been 2 days.

I took the job because I needed one and also because I had real hopes it was a fit. Now I’m not so sure. I don’t know what to do because it’s either anxiety and stress from work or anxiety and stress from not having a job and both feel brutal right now.
