I thought I was losing my sanity. I was experiencing terrible obsessiveness and anxiety and kept trying all the tricks to battle it.
I tried antidepressants, anti-anxiety meds, therapy, exercise and good sleep habits. I tried mindfulness (this actually does help a bit), yoga and other forms of “self-care”. Nothing was relieving my distress. Finally, I quit my job yesterday.
I am like a new person today. Calm, light and hopeful for my future.
For reference: I worked as a case manager in social services.
