This is the story of the last full-time job I ever had—the one that shattered my mental health, fueled my anxiety, and left lasting scars. I worked at a call center for a military bank, dealing with angry customers, toxic management, and relentless pressure. What started as a simple job quickly turned into a nightmare of stress, manipulation, and depression.

I was constantly pushed beyond my limits, denied promotions, and treated like I didn’t matter. The mind games, impossible expectations, and lack of support slowly broke me. My weight skyrocketed, my mental health declined, and I found myself trapped in a cycle of anxiety and hopelessness. Even after leaving, I still struggle with the aftermath of workplace trauma, depression, and self-doubt.

This isn’t just a story—it’s a warning about the dangers of toxic work environments and how they can destroy a person’s well-being. If you’ve ever been in a high-stress, soul-crushing job, you’re not alone.
