I quit my job today..

[Wintered]

I was mentally suffering these days and today I found myself having a hard time just sitting on my chair.
I asked my team leader if I can get a sick leave for a while but it was refused.

So I quit. Even though my savings are not enough and I'm still worried about my future, that terrible amount of workload is now none of my business.

I'm considering ctb as a last resort if I fail to find a decent job and run out of money. Wish me luck.

I feel you.

I can imagine it must be awful having to do a job you hate. For many people, working can make their lives a misery and can be very stressful. I wish you the best in whatever happens.

I almost did this today. Went off sick instead. I don't have much money either. I wish you luck. What's your plan now?

 

[StarryStarry]

We are both in the same boat - paddling hard.

Same here, I was planning to find a new job but hasn't get the motivation and the strength to do it (neither the desire to search for the same type of job) ... now (with additional health issues) I am seriously planning cbt

I wish I could go back to work. Better than being disabled, I mean physically, not mentally and not being able to do it anymore because your body simply broke down. Go talk to someone and find what you love. I myself am getting tired as year after year passes and no resolution to my physical illness. Be thankful that you have the ability to work at the very least.

Right now, I just need some rest, but also looking for another job openings.

Totally agree. Even though I'm in mental pain right now but I'm still glad at I'm physically healthy.
I feel deeply sorry you are suffering from physical illness. Although you said there is no resolution for your status, I wish you can find some other way to ease yourself.

I'm seriously considering quitting mine

I've talked with many people. My sister, friend, cousin, even with the work acquaintances.
Everyone had their ideas for me, but there was a same opinion among all.
If your job is killing you, and you are not planning to ctb right now, you need to quit and take a rest right away. If sick leave is not affordable from work, quitting could be an answer.

My job is killing me. I don't have a lot of support though, no one to really talk to and share what I am going through. I guess I don't quit because I am scared of what that would mean for my survival in the future. I know that seems really shallow and wrong. I spoke to my therapist about wanting to quit but ultimately the choice is up to me. I wish I had enough nerve to quit- but I can't even seem to do that to help myself.

There was a day, years ago, when I was seriously debating whether to report for work or ctb. Because of job related stress issues. Probably the closest I've come so far to actually doing the deed. I even destroyed a small bit of reading material I didn't want to be found if I killed myself. Still gives me the shivers.

Sorry to hear that, and yes wish you luck finding another decent job!

I quit mine this Monday. My boss was stunned but was supportive of my decision (especially after I told him about my depression etc). I just couldn't focus on work at all, with all the shit in my mind, and it felt like stealing from the company.

I really feel like I'm leaving behind the last vestiges of a normal life. Oh well.

You'll find yourself on the very edge of your limit, not being able to read or write, or even to breathe. I think that's the very time when you need to quit.
I also understand you are worried about the things you need to consider after you quit. But if the current work is nearly killing you, and you are not considering ctb, quitting is a sensible decision since those worries are meaningless after you are gone.
I wish you can find your answer soon. And also, if you need someone to talk, I'll be around. DM me if you want.

If you're in the US, look on Indeed, ZipRecruiter, and LinkedIn for recruiters. They are always looking for temp employees - usually for about 3-6 months. The jobs typically pay well, are remote/hybrid, and relatively easy.

Thanks for the advice. But I live outside of States.
We also have similar recruiter services here. I'll try those temp jobs.
Thank you again!
