Anxiety over working away

[Jmerrick22]

I'm gone literally twelve hours a day and do 120 miles a day driving . I feel worn out and my anxiety and all is catching up to me. Any tips ? On the bright side I have an interview tomorrow that's only ten miles away from home .

Driving that kind of distance to go to work has got to make for an incredibly long work week. Mentally I would try to focus on the fact that this will not continue long term and stay positive about finding somethIng closer to home. I had the same problem years ago, although I was making great money the job was killing me. I actually ended up taking a job much closer to home that paid 40% less than what I had been making. Best decision I ever made because my quality of life improved dramatically, and quality of life is what it is all about. Money is important but to me it is secondary to how the job is going t effect the quality of my life. There is usually a lot of fat in the monthly budget that can be cut that may end?ble you to consider a lesser paying Job if that is what it takes to work closer to home. . Good luck to you.
