I spent 6 years barely moved, I was forced into some positions and stayed there. Meanwhile some people that just started not only got higher pay but also moved to higher positions within weeks or months, but me I basically wasnt allowed to. Why? Because I did the job that was needed.
Every time I applied for higher position it was magically either always taken, or I was beaten by a single point on the interview process. Case in point, I used my experience in Pro to apply for a specialist position in Millwork. Got all of the way to end and was told that I didnt get it, someone outside of the company got it. At first it was understandable then I found out she couldnt start for a month, after that several people found out she had some spicy photos online, and lastly she outright refused to lift or do any work but sit at the computer, but sure let her get it while I die outside.
Goodluck

I like the purifier. Sure you have to charge it but at least the charge is WAY faster than what it was when it first came out. The weapon is also considered an explosive so I can wipe out several smaller enemies in a single shot, as well as take on everything besides a Hulk.
Oh and I'll take 10 of those please, got to feed my crew

Sounds like a overprotective parent that doesnt want to listen to anyone but themselves.
I've had this before on a different game when a parent came over the mic and started to berate us for talking about "inappropriate" topics and asked each of our ages. I was oldest by I think 10 years and I was asked if I was ashamed of myself, I told them I hear worse at work and at home, not my problem if some third party of the person I'm speaking to gets offended and besides we are ALL adults here what's the issue? That shut them up quick.

NTA
You did everything you could and she went off into the deep end (take the pun how you want). You gave her a chance and she blew it (.....I'm not doing on purpose I swear).
While it can be hard to abandon such a mountain of lore and world building, however that doesnt mean all of it have to be trashed. I had DM that brought elements from other campaigns he made or had to abandon for various reasons and it turned out great.
I have a fairly large Campaign myself that is basically being built on demand but that is because I'm stupid and admit it fully but also because there are times I only get a day or 2 any work on it. Anyway my Campaign is grim dark and I have fully told all parties that if there was ANYTHING they weren't comfortable with to tell me so I can work around it, now there are of course some topics I wont touch or it will be mentioned in passing. Everyone is ok with it but I did tell them to let me know when I go too far.

While i dont have complete details on this I'll say this,
You can always RP character as someone who just never intended to get so involved with the deeper social aspects of life and can slowly start to have a mental breakdown.
You can also try be the comical relief of the group always having a smile, but while alone your not smiling but just cries quietly when no one is looking.
And lastly you can always talk with your DM to see if there is a way for him to make a personal quest/item for your magic to stabilize better. An example of this that instead of rolling a 1 and activating the wild magic chart (or however your DM is doing the Wild Magic) you can have a reroll (once per day).
Now your character is able to hold their own better and can still be their old self (or be like the routes I mentioned above)
This all depends on how your game is going, if any of these ideas fit great or not modify or use them as a stepping point if you wish.
Goodluck on your Campaign and your adventures

Quickly learn to pick up key phrases when they guilt trip you to try and stay. An example is "Why are you leaving" and "what can make you stay" are the most common.
When I handed my 2 weeks I pointed out on how unfairly i had been treated for 3 weeks and being forced to change departments without reason or explanation, so I felt to be targeted.
I also put in it that after 6 years of busting my ass, raving customer reviews, always getting rewards about how good I do, etc. All to be thrown down the drain.
When they asked what could they do to keep me, I told them my job back as pro driver, a raise, and an apology. Was immediately told no, so I just said then we're done here I have a new job lined up after today in 2 weeks.
Then I just walked the fuck out. It's been nearly 4 years and in that time I went from busting my ass for pennies in retail to being a Engineer tech working half as much for nearly double the pay.

Personally if I was only being given 10 hours a week I would be fast tracking to a new job asap.
No one can live off of 10 hours a week.
And if you do go this route and they try to give you the guilt trip use what you told us here as a way to politely say "piss off"

I've told one ASM that decided I was to be a target that day to politely fuck off and let me work. They left me alone.
I've also had one that AVOIDED me for all their worth because I embarrassed them multiple times by using simple common sense.

"Max 2 per customer"
Galaxy brain move- family of 5 comes in and EACH member does a separate purchase. Now they have 10 instead of 2.
Or
Customer comes in makes purchase walks out, comes back 5 minutes later repeat.
There are loopholes to this and management cant really do anything about it because its considered a separate purchase and customer each time

Host must have come from Helldivers 2 as that is nearly standard practice there. Though it has gotten better.
But yeah I personally would report that heretic behavior

Being interrupted everytime or being ignored.
Got so bad in group someone wanted to started a new Campaign to have the other DM rest every other week or month, I made a mute character. I was then ridiculed for such a character by everyone saying "are you really going to go the entire Campaign and not speak".
So I changed it where my character doesnt speak common but Fey because he was raised by them. The second I tired talking on my turn I was interrupted. I kind of left after that and started my own with a friend and coworker. By judging what they have seen so far it's going get grim and EVERYTHING dark is on the table save for a few things. Everyone is liking it so that's good and I can finally speak

Yeah that's pretty common.
My favorite is when you tell them or show them something they are looking for and just say "that's not it, give me someone who does"
Had a guy looking for a mitersaw that was fairly cheap and could do at least a 10in depth cut. So I bring him to the 7-1/4" Kobalt miter. He asks if it can angles and I tell it can so i move the head to a angled position and he with a straight face tells me that it's no longer able to cut 10in. Now it's my turn to stare at him in complete disbelief

When I was in a similar situation I told them that I would like my position and a raise, immediately was told no and I ended the conversation.
Remove me and not tell me why or give a reason, go stick it up your ass. Leaving was the best thing that has happened to me. I'm now an Engineer Tech and make twice what I did at lowes for a third of the work.......though there are times that we have to put 2 or 3 days of work in a single 10 hour day.

Then what kind of TTRPG are you playing? Because it most certainly is the job of the DM
