I'm so in my head lately. I've been hanging out in the lower back folder because I've developed lower back pain. I started a gardening job over the summer to move my body more after years of desk work, and also while I have some months to prepare for my PhD exam, but now everything has turned sour. I was being bullied by the gardening "boss" - a female with masc energy (& she seemed to prefer male workers to female workers, and picked on specific women) and now I've put in a letter of complaint and feel like I have to quit the job now, so now I will be unemployed, but to keep my sanity and stress levels low I think this is the right decision. I'm finding it hard to trust myself and my decision, and even the fact I've called her a bully - also questioning this too, even though I know she is! What classes are going to help me trust myself and calm my anxiety, and not hurt my back! Any tips?
