Hello... My life took an unexpected turn, and I am having to make a decision regarding my current job. My mental health is suffering and I have made a decision that I need to be with my family. This means me relocating. I have no problem relocating. It is just that people at my current job are telling me not to quit. The town that I am in, I have no friends. I need to do what's right for me.But some of my coworkers told me it would be selfish of me to leave. I know what's right.

No offense….but they are co-workers who are looking out for their best interest, not yours! It is better for them if you are there doing the work they either don’t known how to do, or don’t want to do! Protect yourself and your interests at all costs! Good luck!

Your coworkers will survive. Do what you need to for you! I guarantee if the situation was reversed they wouldn't be putting you into consideration.

If you know what you have to do for yourself, and for your family, disregard what other people are saying. Your coworkers may mean well, or they may be acting selfishly. But either way, what really matters is what's best for your own mental health.

Follow your heart. Just make sure to give at least 2 week notice. It is up to them to get a replacement. I have positions better than I found them by making sure everything was organized and a notebook with easy to follow one pagers of each duty and all contacts available. Your supervisor maybe understanding. You may want to secure a job before you move and put in your notice even if it is part-time. Recently, I left my high paying Senior AA position after multiple stressful life events that happened one after the other. I don't regret it. None of my co-workers have ever been my friend. We all have a path to walk and taking care of ourselves first is not selfish, it is emotionally intelligent.

Focus and do what’s best for your mental health. I’m sorry you are going through this but most times when they tell you not to quit it’s for their best interest.
