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.
"I did it, my back pain (from stress) disappeared, I moved into my dream job, and I wish I had done it sooner. Protect your mental health if you can afford it. It is precious.”
“It was on the news the other day how a teacher quit her job after 21 years and now works at Costco, and she’s happier. It’s a good idea but ensure you have enough funds to support you if your backup plan fails,” answered another.
“Yes! Mental health is so precious. What’s the point of living if we are in a perpetual state of misery? Being drained also limits you from realizing what you can do and your potential."
"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?"
