I told myself I would not be that person who quits during busy season but I am reaching my limit with PA. My mental health has been in shambles for years and I have found the years passing by with me doing nothing but work. I am anxious all the time even when on PTO, and I'm so close to just quitting with nothing lined up to take a mental break. Just wanted to rant.

I’m about to put the trigger, probably in this week, and I feel anxious even just thinking about it. But in the end, if this job brings only pressure and anxiety, it’s about time, just quit it.

Close to doing the same. I’ve only been at BDO 1 year, second busy season, but I have to wonder if it’s always this miserable or the covid rip off.

I am already interviewing places... there is going to be lost of competition come April/May

I think we might be twins..... please do what is best for you! I hope you feel better soon!

Or just chill out? I just feel very confused. Are a lot of full time jobs like this?
