Hi Noa.
I hope you know that your worth to this world is far greater than your job. I still think of your wise posts quite often, and miss you, and hope I'll see you again here someday. Although under happier circumstances, I confess.
That being said, I understand how scary and demoralizing this would be.
You said you were on contract. Does that mean no unemployment insurance? I hate to focus on the miserable practicalities, but I also always find that when the practicalities are attended to, I feel better able to face the future with at least a bit of fortitude.
I wouldn't worry overmuch about what to say in interviews. People are constantly leaving jobs for one reason or another. I'm sure there are ways to phrase the answer to any questions you may get in such a way as to minimize the impact.
Are you still seeing a therapist? Is there anyone you can sit down with to make a battle plan?
Deep breaths. One step at a time. You can get through this, even if that doesn't seem like an appealing prospect at this time. I can't tell you how many people I've seen lose their jobs, and end up in happier circumstances than the one they left. Or as my husband often says "The retained shall envy the released."
If there's anything I can do, please let me know.
