I think it will help.
When I’ve felt like, a few days off or even a vacation, is only temporary reprieve.
Then I wonder, is my longing for a new job just escapism and procrastination? Do I need to figure out how to take the heat? Will this get better if I double down and work harder and commit more and so on? Do I need to change careers? Is this just inescapable capitalism?
The problem is probably just where you’re working. Maybe who you’re doing it with. Maybe how they’re doing it with you. Maybe the projects don’t excite you.
When I find a better place, it feels like I renewed the lease on this line of work. Each place I’ve been, it gets better, for the most part.
Think about what would make you happy then? What kind of job? Work? People? Make a list, and job hunt with that goal in mind.
In the meantime, what about this job would make it suck less? Make a list of that, and see if there are things you can control there.
This is just a starting point, but organizing my thoughts and reframing in this way has helped me many times.
