I've only been at my job for less than 6 months. I make $9/hr as a preschool teacher. I love the kids, but I hate the hours (4/10s) and the pay.
I haven't left because I just don't want to hop from one job to another and still have the same issues. Although I feel like a majority of my issues stem from untreated mental illness, like anxiety and/or ADHD, or maybe something else. I got denied for Medicaid because I make more than $700/mo. So I'm on the search for health insurance in order to get a mental health screening and see what's going on.
In the meantime, I'm not sure what to do. I've been getting worse anxiety at work and I've noticed my moods dipping a lot more often than normal. I could leave this job and work in the job market I'm more familiar with and make more money, which is the food industry but I'm pretty burnt out on the food industry as well. Although I'd make $13 to $16 starting off. Which would be nice but still.
I think I'm just burnt out of working and I'm not sure what to do. I've been looking into self-sufficient ways of living to see how I could live less 9-5, or 7 to 5 in my current case I've always dreamed of living on a farm and learn to do more for myself and family. But I feel like that kind of thing takes money to be able to achieve. So then my mind goes to working at the place I can make the most at and save as quickly as I can.
So my head is in a lot of different places and I'm unsure of what to do. I hope this is the right subreddit to post to. Does anyone have any advice to my post?
