...See more Hello, I really need all the advice I can get on this situation because it is truly eating me up. About a month ago I started a new summer camp job teaching theatre and putting on a show. The past two weeks I have been acting as the main director / teacher and if Im being completely honest I’m miserable. I am going to school for this & I have lots of experience in my field, but this environment has drained the life out of me. I’ve never felt burnt out in my field until now. I am doing 90% of the work with absolutely no help and as a 20 year old who is still learning it is exhausting. The lady who runs it is kind as a person, but she is critical and controlling of everything I do in the theatre. I feel as if I can’t move when she’s around. My stomach drops when she walks in the room. I feel like throwing up before I check my email in fear there’s something in there from her. I also was asked to take my pronouns out of my email signature because parents were getting upset and reporting me. Though I am cis it still means a lot to me to have my pronouns on my email as a sign of respect for those around me. Needless to say my mental health has drastically and rapidly declined. I need out. I cant stay, but my problem is I’m supposed to be starting a new show in a lil over a month. I feel terrible giving them such little notice & Im not sure if I should stick it out or leave. I fear that if I try to stick it out I will breakdown mid way through and that could effect my other (stable) job, my grades, my social life. What would you do???
