Hi all.
(not sure if that’s the right place to post..)
I’m suffering from chronic joint pain for around 10 years (JHS). 3 years ago I landed a corporate job. The work is great, the team is great, my manager is great. But I wanna leave it, because I feel like I’m burntout, there’s too much work to do that I cannot handle.. my pain flare ups often, I’m too tired to work sometimes, so I indulge in absenteeism.
At the same time the job is great and pays well, and has a certain prestige to it (I’m Asian) – so I feel guilty to leave it. Plus I don’t have any alternative (feel too tired to think about it.. if I get fired/or leave Imma probably take at least a 2 month break). Also, I feel like if I leave it, I might regret it real bad.. because jobs like these are a blessing and I feel like I’m supposed to be grateful. But then, I don’t think that job is my calling, I don’t see that I’ll continue doing it for 20 years.
I feel so stuck.. please help… what should I do?
