I have turned into basically an alcoholic, depressed and anxious mess because of my 9-5. It’s not even that bad of a job but I am absolutely filled with dread every minute of every day because of it. I eventually feel this way about every single job I’ve ever had. I feel my stomach twist up every time I get an outlook notification or hear my phone ring.

I have no relationships with anyone but my husband and mom outside of work and those are both suffering. I am not built for this.
