"Regaining much needed perspective"

I've had a work situation which has been plaguing my mental health for some time. In a nutshell my boss was treating me rather nastily with narcissistic tendencies, leaning toward, inappropriate work environments, harsh criticism and gaslighting. I found myself in a place where I almost didn't recognise what to do, who I am, what's normal and what's strange. I really needed help as I had been there for 5 years and been seeking help over the past year to survive and figure out how I can manage myself more effectively.

I feel that I have regained much needed perspective.
