Toxic boss / friend

I had a part time job working for a startup that I helped build for almost a decade. My boss is a narcissist and the culture of the workplace is insanely toxic. I finally pulled the plug and left but I feel incredibly lost and depressed. How do I deal w the loss of the job but also the loss of what was at once a friendship?

Looking at the bigger picture, I feel like you'll look back and be so happy and relieved you made the choice. I had to leave a toxic workplace back in Sept and had "omg what did I do" thoughts. I try not to over think on every decision I make because then I end up talking myself out of it. I say feel all of the emotions, and deal with them one by one. How long ago have you quit your job?

I just quit a few days ago so it’s very recent but I just feel like I’m really going through it because I did the job for so long and it was at one time correlated with a friendship
