I’m at a breaking point where I might follow the impulse to quit. It will be extremely stupid because I don’t have enough savings and being a game artist I guess I can forget finding new job. But my mental health is in shambles. I’m taking antidepressants. Not helping. This workplace is killing me. I don’t know how to keep my shot together…

Why not hold it down till you find a new role with more balance ? It’s easier to find a job while you still have one. Just stick it out as long as you can. or book a long holiday?

Consider taking some time off. If you get a note from your doctor, you can take short-term leave for mental burnout.

Use that time to regroup, work on your portfolio, rest, and start reaching out to recruiters.

That way, when you get back to work, all you need to focus on is getting the next gig.

BTW, for this, try to take at least two weeks. Preferably three. You’ll spend the first week just recovering and purging yourself of all that toxicity.

My family mistreated me when I was younger, and now that I don’t live at home, they don’t call or bother to look for me, because frankly, I think they have a hard time admitting what happened - and will never apologize to me either. If I don’t call, or occasionally go see them during the holidays, we would never talk. Some of them are growing old (health-wise), and I’m scared this entire situation is just irreparable. Has anyone ever gone through anything similar? Any advice or thoughts?
