Why you should quit your job

Because life is too short to be stressed. Time for me to come out with it - I HATED my last job on the coast. This has probably been previously made evident but in an effort not to burn bridges I have tried to keep it on the D-low. It's with mixed emotions that I speak of my time there. I know that I cannot place the blame on my former employer or team for things going horribly wrong for me. In order for things to be that bad, there are of course other factors at play. After all, disease can only take hold in a compromised environment. There were things about that job that I loved. I still have great respect for the company's leading lady and my colleagues who supported me through it all (they knew, maybe not the extent to which I was affected, but I am sure they had some idea). It just wasn't at all right for me at the time, and ultimately became extremely toxic and detrimental to my sanity and self esteem. I thought I hated everything and everyone around me. I had begun to hate myself. In fact, I could no longer even recognise myself. I thought I was depressed.

When you detest your work so deeply your whole outlook on life is discoloured, it is beyond time to move on. Stop procrastinating and panicking that you have no way out. It is time to think of yourself. Pardon my language, but fuck it. GET OUT!! Look around and be creative. Don't be afraid to take bold steps to put changes in place. Even if your escape route may seem counter-productive at first. It never pays to be unhappy in the long run.
