Things I Scream In My Head At Work: How to Survive a Toxic Workplace Without Losing Your Mind

If you've ever sat in a meeting thinking, "Why am I still here?" you're in the right place. This is a brutally relatable survival guide for anyone stuck in a workplace that drains your energy, tests your patience, and makes you question your sanity by 10:17am.

This isn't a corporate self-help book that tells you to "practice gratitude" while your workload explodes. It's practical, plain-English advice with humor, real talk, and tactics you can actually use when a "quick urgent thing" lands at 4:58pm on a Friday and you feel your soul leave your body.

Why this book

Toxic workplaces don't just waste your time. They mess with your confidence, your sleep, your mood, and your life outside work. The goal here is simple: help you protect your energy, keep your dignity, and get through the day with less stress and fewer internal meltdowns. Whether you're staying, planning your exit, or quietly plotting your escape, you deserve tools that work in real life.
