Angry Dan is now Happy Dan.

Today, right now I begin full speed ahead into working for myself. There is a tiny amount of anxiety that goes with the territory of starting one's own business of course. I am at peace though. There is no stupid questions to repeatedly answer 40 times a day. There is no one not reading the 7 emails I sent them that answered the questions they just woke me up at 3 am to ask me for the 15th time. There is no one bothering me. There is no worries. No dread. No pain. No rage.

I was literally feeling physical depression and knew my body was breaking itself down in my previous job.

The prison sentence is over.
Now, it's all good.

I got to witness first-hand how that place was destroying your soul, and it wasn't fun to watch. So even though I'm a teensy bit jealous since I'm still a prisoner, I'm more happy for you than anything else. And incredibly proud of your strength, determination, and bravery. Woohoo!!!

All IS good! If you are a bit anxious, use Anxiety as your new fuel to clear your mind and energize your move forward.

The world needs more people like you - taking risks to make your life mean more for both yourself, and all the people your efforts will touch.

God Bless and full speed ahead!

The best of luck to You on Your new path! I look forward
to knowing anything specific about it:)

Sounds to me like You just had a bad job. I believe there
are good places to work out there. I, myself, have worked
at more good places than bad. Sure, maybe I considered
killing a colleague once or twice but that's normal, right?

Normally if I'm unhappy for a prolonged period (maybe a few
months but its highly context driven) at a particular gig
then I'll start moving on moving on.
