even after leaving the bad situation, you're still kinda on edge, like you no longer trust your intuition about whether things are "generally ok and you just need incremental improvements" or "pretty bad and you should probably reconfigure your life in some way"

main antidote that comes to mind is start to build a trusting and healthy relationship with your own intuition again in small ways, suss out whether you're making a choice because you feel some made-up obligation versus something that feels genuinely compelling

@kasratweets this is interesting to me because it's always had the opposite effect. i've been able to see warning signs and understand why i didn't get out sooner and in future situations when i notice them again i choose to leave sooner

@Ecmoy ahh sounds like a healthy adaptation. I guess part of it is how you process the whole situation, understanding what to do differently next time vs having some remaining questions/conflict about it

@kasratweets what if all of life is a bad situation
