Hey, all! I need serious advice. I am leaving my job in August (nobody knows this yet), but seriously, everyday I end up in tears because it's so demanding. It's getting to the point where I may have to quit for my mental health. I'm trying to make it to August, but everyday is so difficult.

If you were me, should I tell my boss my struggles, so that changes can be made? Or should I just give them what I can, even though it may affect some of our projects?

definitely share your mental health situation if it’s pushing you this much. it’s never a good idea to force yourself until you get severe burnout after. communication is key. letting them know that you want to quit because of this might communicate how serious the situation is

Why are you waiting until August? Quit now if you can. Otherwise absolutely bring up the struggles, do not compromise your mental health for months (or even days or weeks). You could do real damage to yourself.

Don’t wait. I tried to push through in a similar situation and my body gave out on me. It took me a full month after I quit to recover.

I'll be honest - there is no company worth compromising your mental health over. If it's too demanding, definitely bring it up to your manager. If you have a problem with your manager, go to HR. Or, slowdown your output and grab extensions where you can because work is just work. You're not saving lives (probably). I'm guessing August is when you'll be starting a new opportunity, but it might be worth slowing down at this job, knowing you're leaving. At this point, you really have nothing to lose if quitting is your plan anyways.

Serious question - is there a reverse FIRE strategy? I like the idea of saving and retiring early, but the one hiccup I see (and sorry if this is grim) is if you die earlier than expected. I’d be worried that I would minimize lifestyle and fun for retirement at 50 but I’d die at 49. How about a way to work 9 months out of the year and retire/travel/relax for 3 months? This way you guaranteed your dreams/etc. are fulfilled

I wish I would have had this bowl ten years ago 😔 I recently was diagnosed with ADHD. I have been able to manage this far with coping mechanisms but I recently got divorced, have four kids and a busy job with a lot of aspects that are new to me. Now I may get fired for “lack of attention to detail” and “missing deadlines.” I wish I had looked into this so much earlier. I’m two weeks into taking Wellbutrin but I think it takes awhile to kick in, my psychiatrist suggested starting with that…
