Someone recently took to Reddit asking, “What do you think of quitting your job for mental health and happiness?” The internet responded by delivering this authentic list of advice.
“It’s vital to know that your job contributes to poor mental health and impacts your happiness. Before I quit, though, I’d tried to reflect on whether I would feel this way in whatever circumstance and if it was internal or external unhappiness."
"The day I went to work after my notice, I woke up at 8 am, completely rested, without needing any coffee. With the same energy, I had the first day I went to that toxic job. I don’t regret it at all. Worth it.”
“Definitely do it. I struggled at my last employer due to terrible management and staff shortages, and I wasn’t coping. I had been there for eight years. I was overworked and stressed,” another Redditor replied.
"For example, do you have the financial safety net and company understanding to negotiate a sabbatical or extended leave if you are looking for time to sort out what you want?"
