Got demoted at work due to a bad performance for the months of March and April. (Had a mental breakdown/burnout and could barely focus on work stuff).

Someone else was promoted temporarily to the role I was demoted from, and I was okay with that. Or at least so I convinced myself.

Today I found out it's been made a permanent promotion and he's been handed a new contract. I'm conflicted between feeling jealous, and understanding that everything that happened is actually justified.

I don't want to be the jealous angry guy, so I find myself continuously reminding myself that I'm not, and I shouldn't be. And just try to make sense of the entire situation, including the fact that I don't want the responsibility anyways.

It's really tough.
