Mondays are a trigger, how about you?

[megc7]

I’m stuck at a job I am unhappy with. Mondays are such a trigger for me, nothing even happens I just get this pit in my stomach (even on Sunday night- I used to have huge breakdowns and get no sleep) but there is just a looming anxiety coming into work and trying to get through the day. The issue is I get through the day but then just sleep and come back to work the next day and I never get to escape my problem. Just stuck in a rut that I have no idea how to get out of.

Hi there..what is the problem you want to escape?

I’m just really unhappy with my current situation working at this job and would like to change that. But I have anxiety around quitting and job searching and I am scared to take the risk

Whats the current situation like at work?..can it be changed?..Are you just not sure the right decision is to change jobs? ..if I was you, have a look at what jobs are out there at the moment.

Hi. I totally understand you. Yesterday, I broke down crying. I just cried and cried because of the anxiety that Monday was arriving. Like you, I am unhappy with my job. I try my best to get through the day and the week and dread for Monday as soon as Sunday occurs. I feel like that past couple of months at this job has been a blur of getting through the day. Not living happily and just trying to get by. This isn't living. And You are not alone.

As for jobs, keep looking for one right now. I, too, want to leave my job but my fear that I won't be able to afford my apartment if I quit triggers my anxiety. I get into a whole cycle of worry about my future, career, my happiness, and if I am worthy enough in my next job. But I am sticking with the job right now while I search.

Though it sucks, I've been searching for 4 months now and still no luck. It takes time to find a new one, and I hope you don't give up on finding a new one. Stick with your current job while you search. It does feel frustrating, but this is what we have to do for now so we can find our hapiness.

Also, find a job you feel passionate about. Look at your hobbies that you enjoy and go towards a career in that. I am still struggling to understand what career I want, but it's okay. You got this!
