I’m a passionate, enthusiastic person. Over the past year or so that I have worked, the role has completely changed and been downgraded as the company has gone through changes. It has wreaked havoc on my health – the stress before work causes me to have diarrhea 6-8x every morning within the first two hours of waking up. I’ve gone through a plethora of tests that have come back clean and docs are attributing to stress.
Yesterday morning after the usual crying and crapping I had a bit of a moment. I was like “how much more of this do I have to take?” And I decided NO MORE. So I handed in my two weeks notice. And guess what? I have nothing lined up. But I don’t really care- I know I will find something, and I can guarantee it won’t cause my guts to freak out so much.
Work is not more important than your health. Ever. Fuck that place.
Thanks r/antiwork for helping me see the light!!
