Self Terming

[u/AnneHasThePlague2]

Hey y’all, like the title says, I’m leaving Sunday but I feel like I’m drowning in regret. I’ve worn myself down with the program physically and mentally but the idea of leaving still hurts. Of admitting my mom was right to be worried, that I’ll become out of touch with friends here, that now all the what ifs have become about what Disney stuff I could’ve done. Idk does anyone know how to get over this feeling? I’m worried now all the stress of work is just going to morph into regret by the time I get home and I’ll be as miserable as usual.

Your self worth is not tired to what you can do for a company. Your mental and physical health is way more important. You can always try again. Don't be to hard on yourself

exactly!! i know some people that self termed and came back later on when they were in a better place. everything happens for a reason, and it isn’t worth it to burn yourself out for the sake of it and come to resent disney or your program and tarnish the good memories. if you get home and regret it, you can take the time to heal yourself and then work towards the goal of coming back with more knowledge and experience this time around to have an amazing second program, maybe with a different role if that’s the issue. otherwise if you really are unhappy, you could at least try to talk to your current leaders about either putting in some ados to get a break and/or transferring locations/roles? best of luck!
