I quit too this week without having any plan B , my health was deteriorating because of the stress and the work load, I am 34 years old btw , an English teacher worked for almost three years in a private school, not easy at all , always tired and no social life at all because of the lack of time or energy. I couldn't continue living like this, still don't know what is my next step , all I know for sure now is that I want to rest.

❤amazing explanation of how this works! Thank you 🙏

I made up my own! 1. 30-60 min walk per day and 3 additional workouts per week (I'm out of shape so started here) 2. 2L of water a day (weak bladder and don't want to be in the bathroom all day) 3. Follow a diet with no cheats (mine is intermittent fasting with no junk food, no alcohol). 4. Work on my songwriting every day (in place of reading, as I'm already a big reader). 5. Progress pics every day I agree that it really is a mental toughness challenge. I'm very undisciplined and I also need to lose 40-50 pounds so this is perfect.

How did everyone handle the period days? Mine is quite heavy :(

Omg 😢thank you so much for making this video! This is exactly what I’m going through right now. Omg!!! The freaking emails and the constant micromanaging, toxic environment, and the PTO situation. I can’t take PTO without feeling that I’m doing something wrong. It is a constant necessity to question why in the freaking world do I need to take time off! And that’s without counting the burn out sensation. Lord!

Yesss queen! Stride 100%!! Lol I use this for my other gigs like Instacart and DoorDash. The only reason why I miss my w2 job is the taxes were pretty much taken out of site and out of mind. Lol when you make $4000 in a month via contracting gigs and need to stash $800 (minimum) of that away for tax season… OUCH 🤕 lol it hurts a little 😂

Lemme hit u up

You are going to be fine. I have challenges too, and I am ready to take on 75 Hard!!

this was so helpful, about to live with my 2 best friends from high school because rent is absolutely kicking my ass living alone. Awesome tips and insight thank you!

Thank you❤ I am so done with this job and with this place. I am struggling to change jobs atm but I know I am getting closer each day

I agree with finding a fullfilling and meaningful career.

You Okay??

I'm having a lot of these. Plus my skin kept flaring up. However the very moment I decided to let go of the job mentally, my skin improved so much. I have not found another job but I am a foot out.

Sending this to my roommate...

I would kill for a straight 9-5 everyday. I do shiftwork switching EVERY week. Grind teeth, anxiety, depression got tit all

Leave your job. Quit. It’s not worth the stress. It might be scary at first but you have to remember that things always work out. Think back at those times you never thought you’d make it through a bad situation but you did in the end. The toxic bullies, the unappreciative managers, the backstabbing selfish coworkers-they’ll all get what’s coming to them. You’re meant to be in much better environments. Move on to bigger and better things. Start by taking care of yourself first and then upwards from there.

What the point of taking time off if you come back with double of your work need to be done in shorter amount of time

What a great video, very well put together! Thank you for such valuable insights

I left my job yesterday, it was becoming difficult day by day to survive there.. So, I finally took a decision to quit and heal myself. I'm happy with my decision. After all, health and peace should be the priority

This was really useful for me thank you ❤

Smart lady , kudos for this great answer

I’ve roommates most of my life, and I’ve come to realize that my one non negotiable would be to love other introverts who don’t necessarily want to be friends/have movie nights/talk, etc. Needy roommates are the kids sofndeath for me 😕

I have back problems (scoliosis), my back has been giving me hell thr past few months. I also feel like I'm damaging my kidneys with my current job. I'm currently waiting for december to receive my bonus paycheck (we get double paid in December) so I can leave

Are you me

Today I left my badge and office keys on my desk and emailed my resignation letter after my shift. In the letter I asked to mail my check to my address (even though I filed a direct deposit) two days prior). I will mail them my parking pass and make sure to have them sign it. However, I received a voicemail stating to come into the office and sign a formal resignation letter in order for them to release my check. Seriously? I choose to be at peace with all this.

Watching things like this always manage to make me cry or become misty. I am currently in the process of trying to upload animations on youtube. I realized almost 3 years ago (when I was 30) that this 9 to 5 is not for me. I seriously am trying my best to get out but it is so hard when you have bills pay and cannot just "quit." Honestly wish I could though. I do not have kids and I don't feel like I want any, but theres no way I can even factor a child in doing this job if I wanted a kid. It literally burns me out. I would continue going to college for animation but I do not even agree with going into debt doing classes that do not mean anything. I wish it were simple to just draw or animate one day and then BOOM make money that way. Let me know what you did if you can cause I'm seriously that desperate.

Literally this. I no longer care about what I’m doing at work, I’m not passionate anymore, and it’s long days of manual labor, for barely a livable wage. I put in my notice today and I feel euphoric

This video was so helpful for me. I quit my toxic job two months ago and had another job lined up. I was such a mess from the first job, that I quit the second one three days into it. Now I'm feeling like such a failure but I'm trying to remind myself that things will work out. I was going through the same things you describe: couldn't sleep at night, racing heart, trouble focusing, angry all the time. Thanks for posting.

When you did Rover, did you have to sign up with Stripe?

2 weeks notice? When I leave it will be effective immediately.. just like when they’re easy to fire you or lay you off.

Some people dead Monday mornings. I dread Sundays..period .. not good at all.

I recently submitted my resignation from my toxic 9-to-5 job, and I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. The immediate sense of relief was profound

Hi. How did you survive financially if you quit? Did you have another job to go to?

How about second week on the job and the supervisor had nothing planned for you to do? Exactly.

working on your time off is allowing your employer to steal your labour. And its not your fault, you have no protections, no back up to stand up for you as a human who needs time off. It comes from a fear of being unemployed and being screwed because the bills don't stop. You could do everything right, and still get fucked over by the company. This is the hellscape of being a worker, you are not a human, you are not a person, you are a cog in a wheel.

Nobody enjoys a life of constant frustration, limitation, dissatisfaction and quiet resignation.

It really just sounds like your employer didn't respect your personal time. I'm thankful to have worked at a few companies now where PTO was well respected. They're definitely out there. That said, going freelance and building consistent long-term clients does sound WAY more appealing.

Holy crap! Thank you for posting this. I recognize so many of the symptoms. Deep down I knew it was related to my job, but it helps immensely to hear another person validate the same experiences. The teeth grinding, the irregular periods, the random forgetfulness. Not many people understand, so I appreciate you being openly transparent in your video.

It’s insane because I am experiencing the same symptoms. I take pills to sleep everyday. I drink more than the usual. I have zero energy and I am very unhappy. Unfortunately I cannot quit as I have bills to pay . But everyday I just feel stuck . It’s the worse feeling ever.

Just found your video. How old are you? I can relate. I can't sleep.

I’m literally trying to not quit, I’m beyond burnt out and hate my job. Money is the sole reason i haven’t.

I basically have insomnia it’s horrible, this has never happened to me before The whole sick time and PTO packaged together is so greedy and evil.

I'll stick with Amazon flex and door dash for now. I don't want lawsuits for a dog dying😅

Great video. I’m in the UK so not all applicable to me but super informative. Good job.

Liked your video, by the way. Thanks.

Specific chore assignments, an idea I got from another person's video, tackles one dilemma that everyone seems to have. A roommate who doesn't clean well could be assigned the PERMANENT duty of taking the garbage out and/or mowing the lawn. Assign permanent job duties (except for, of course, dishes and laundry); specific duties that they/each can do and/or understand.

I've had an account for a month and haven't got a single booking. I hope this video is able to help!

I have a dorm mate who’s just self absorbed. She doesn’t communicate, she’ll go home for the weekend without saying anything about how long, if she’s bringing anyone in when she comes back, whatever. She’ll give me like a 1 minute heads up text for guests, and has let a whole middle aged man into our room while I was fresh out of the shower changing. I try to say hi/bye, and let her know when I’m leaving for most of a day, have conversations, but she’s a brick wall. I’m also generally a really clumsy person and I have accidentally hurt myself so many times and I’ll be cursing and bleeding and she just 😒 at me and go back to her tv show or her 7th phone call of the hour. Which sucks because you can’t set rules about your roommate not caring.

The stress was causing hormonal issues as well for me causing issues with my reproductive health. As soon as I went on sabbatical , body and mind is much healthier

No posts for a while, hope all is well.
