I think this is where a decision matrix could help. Below is what a decision matrix looks like. Set out your options and criteria/goals, give them a priority and score for each option. See which option gets the highest total.

Yup, it’s difficult with all the snakes, tigers and shiet :upside_down_face:

Maybe try to look for another job before quitting?

If you can find something that is better for your mental health, then that’s a good idea. If you don’t have a good amount of money saved to pay your bills for a while, you shouldn’t leave unless you have something else lined up first.

Animal work can be very rewarding. I hope you can get the job before quitting your current one. Do you think that’s possible?

My area pretty competitive when it come to jobs, since I don’t have degree in that area my odds are not good.

Then I recommend keeping your current job while applying for other jobs.

The only issue is that I got forced transfer to a far away station due to a accommodation request made by my psychiatrist for the day shift.

As a former Amazon employee getting out of there was one of the best things I could do for my mental health. I do recommend finding another job first even if it’s just temp work

Yea Amazon literally triggered my psychosis

Wow! 3 hours is too far! Yeah, I’d definitely start looking for a new job. I think Amazon isn’t really as accommodating to disabled people as they say. They moved you that far away so you’d leave in my opinion. I’m so sorry!
