My current job is causing me so much stress and anxiety that I don't sleep at night anymore. I wanna quit, take a long time off and change career entirely I'm so sick of it.
The mains reasons why I didn't already do it is because I'm fairly well paid and my reputation is at stake because it's such a small field. I don't think I can afford to cut my paycheck in half but I have no choice if I want a chance to be happy.
I can feel my mental health hanging on by a thread. I've even contemplated suicide a few times but I love my wife and family too much to do that to them.
I have about 30 years left before retirement age so I need to find a new career that's sustainable. I don't have a college degree or anything.
Has anyone else been in this situation?
