Thank you, I needed to hear that. I've been thinking ever since leaving this afternoon that perhaps it was unwise. I appreciate your comments, particularly about the working hard part.

you can get right in there and have a go at that!
That is indeed the plan. I think I'll give myself a week or so to recouperate. This feeling mistreated whether actual or imagined has soured me to a job for the moment so I'll treat myself to some me time but then I'm planning pro-active searching for that right job and I think I'll be less likely to settle. This experience was the very reason I had previously been so picky in my job seeking. I'll probably do it again but at least I'll know what to look for in signs to flee.

Really, thank you, other friends have been a bit less supportive implying stupidity for leaving without a fall-back job and while the truth does hurt I was absolutely miserable most of the time at work and that's just not healthy.
You're a good friend, hope you're feeling better!
