I left my old job 7 months ago and I still get upset, why can't I get over it?

If you're like me and give 10+ years to a place, removing yourself is going to be harder afterwards, than in the moment. The connections, atmosphere, sometimes you are very senior and don't really have people breathing on you so the quality of life stays high versus starting over in a dud situation.

What’s upsetting you about it?

I miss all my colleagues and bosses, I was there for nearly 8 years

Gotcha. Well your time away from there has been far less than how long you spent at that job, so I’m not surprised that it’s hard. Maybe you could still keep in touch with them, hang out if you can.

Do you have a new job?

[Asker]

I do

Why would you get upset, then? DOn’t you like your job?

Maybe you should consider seeing a therapist.
