I’m sorry to hear this. Do you not want to work at all or is it your current job that you don’t want to work at?

I felt the same at my prior job, I literally said I couldn’t breathe, they kept expecting more of me and were never recognizing my work.

It felt like psychological warfare dealing with politics, having to show up to work.

I left my old position after years of trying, and finally 3 years later of applying I have something new. I can finally breathe and I don’t have a nasty manager who was killing my spirit.

I’m not saying run right away. Show up and be grateful tht you have a job. Some people do not have a job at all, so treat the blessing with care so you can be given something better. It is temporary and God will help you find a way out.

I would say figure out your purpose, your reason for existing. God made you for a special reason. You are chosen for something special on earth and you need to reflect and think about your strengths, your passions. What makes you excited when you think about it? What is your ideal state of being? Your ideal job? Or lifestyle? And what can you do to work towards that?

Highly recommend prayer & chat gpt if you don’t know the answers.

Reminds me of someone who switched from a 9-5 office job to working in an entirely different industry in an hourly but well paid job that is outside, requires manual labor, and interacts with people daily. He LOVES the shift.

Someone else I knew shifted from an office to dog walking + bartending. Another switched to working at a factory that makes records. Another joined a commune and works with dozens of people together to harvest food, make clothes, etc. for themselves and to sell.

I want to do this. I currently work sales and I hate it. Going to work every day is torture. I want to get 2 part time jobs that I’m able to for the most part work what I want. I need to do more to, my job right now is SO slow and everyday I’m just sitting there. My body is going soft. My daughter says I need to stop thinking about money and just think of the job. I believe she is trying to tell me it’s ok if I take a job for less money but be happier

I let the shame spiral get the better of me this week. Realized that I wasn’t going to be able to meet a deadline because I’d mismanaged my time and the project was more complex than I though.

And then I stayed up basically three days straight working, which has only made me slower and more inefficient. So I’m still not done and now I’m in the pits of anxiety and exhaustion hell. FML.
