I've always been the type of person to overachieve and push myself to the limit. I've recently been diagnosed with some health issues that all relate back to the stress I have in my life.
The short of it is that I've found myself in a situation where I'll likely lose my job and my side hustle. My mental health in the last week has taken a massive nosedive. I'm barely eating, I can't peel myself off the couch. I've been numb, I've cried and I'm getting physically ill from the stress my situation has bestowed upon me.
I'm at a point where something needs to change and it took seeing my test results for me to realize how detrimental this has all been. I want to quit my job, let my side hustle burn and take a couple months off to regroup.
Has anyone done something similar after almost killing yourself from stress? It would be helpful to hear from others who have taken some time to get back to baseline.
