I really want to quit my job because it became a highly toxic environment, the hours are super long, and its been negatively affecting my mental health - however, I'm pretty young and I don't have a ton of savings and I have rent obligations in a HCOL ... any suggestions?

schedule some vacation, advocate for yourself internally, apply to jobs. most companies will give you mental leave paid/unpaid. if paid is an option, consider that. if unpaid is an option, it’s better to have a job after some necessary rest than not. and you can still quit at the end of the term if you feel that’s right for you.

Any further tips on how to advocate for yourself? I tried doing that once and I was told I was being "highly argumentative"

My friend was in the same boat. He took a job out of undergrad at NYC but quit after 10 months cause of the abusive manager and ended up securing a job elsewhere within a week.

Sounds like you need to find a better job, at least before quitting your current one. Doesn’t need to be a huge leap in comp if it better suits your life but of course that’d be a plus too!

Start looking immediately and good luck 🍀

I’ve suffered from workaholism for a long time. Thanks to a lot of great self help books and therapy, I’m no longer putting work on a pedestal and I’m spending a lot more time on self care and my marriage. But, unfortunately, I am now getting withdrawals, because my body is used to the daily adrenaline of throwing myself into work. It’s this terrible feeling of like anguish/unease in my gut, but I don’t have anything I’m worried about- it’s like my body wants to find something to worry about.
