I’ve stayed in my current job too long because I hate this profession and I know another job will be more of the same shit (been doing it for 10 years). Every time I think about changing, I read a job description for a graphic designer and I feel like I genuinely want to die.
I literally have no clue what else I would do though.
I’m so burnt out with working in general that I lie awake in panic knowing I still have 30-40 years left of it. Cost of living has risen dramatically where I live and I need a job that pays more. It feels like such a trap and takes me all my strength not to give into thoughts of well… yknow, being unalived.
