A job that doesn’t trigger anxiety

[Rome312]

I suffered throughout my 30’s and 40’s dealing with anxiety related to job stress. I can’t find a job that pays enough to live that isn’t also very stressful which has led to 3 breakdowns. Does anyone know of a job that I might not have thought of? It would be greatly appreciated!

It's not about us giving you ideas only you know what you are capable of.

Sometimes we have to make the decision if the money is worth the stress the job. It's not an easy decision but perhaps a lifestyle change would solve the whole problem

Thanks. The decision is definitely made. No salary is worth too much stress. I’m working toward other jobs. It’s frustrating whether are jobs will work. Having anxiety makes me need to have certainty about the future. I appreciate your feedback.

I've been here. I was starting to burn out on the job because my world was crumbling and I couldn't handle all the stress. The money was a handcuff, hard to fathom living without it.

I do understand.

I understand your predicament. I have a degree in a certain field and been in this field for over 15 years. What on earth can I do because many of the lower stress jobs that I want pay way less. Like a remote job would be ideal, but I don't know where to start unless I go back to school or earn a certificate and even if I did this, I would start at the entry level. I know the answer is: your mental health is worth more than your salary, but I have responsibilities. To answer your question, I would look into what would you ideally enjoy doing, and look up stress free jobs on google, and if you have the means get the credentials you need to make this happen while working your current job.
