I am so confused, stressed, and I don't know what else right now. If you've seen any of my recent posts you know I work in sales and I travel all over the country, all month long. The job has been getting to me the last few months. In July I ended up in the Emergency Room with an anxiety attack because the stress was too much. Then there was the miscarriage in August. Even without that I am not happy with my job anymore. I am lonely travelling alone all month, i'm anxious about everything, I dread the thought of going out of town, and I am just miserable. I had made the decision to stay through the next two big national meetings which puts me working in this position for another month. I know it's only a month and it's a great chance to make a ton of money, but there's part of me that just wants to walk now. I don't know what my problem has been the last week or two. It's like I'm anxious about everything. Flying, driving..... It's not like me at all.

I figured out my schedule so I am only gone 2 days next week, 5 the following week, and then 4 days the middle of October. I'm still dreading it. It's hard not to just quit. I was planning to stay home just but now I think I would rather work now. I think I might go nuts being at home from now until the time I get pregnant and then while I am pregnant. I am looking into some sales positions that have local territories so I wouldn't need to travel over night and there would be less stress.

My big decision right now is do I quit, or do I tough it out for the next 4 weeks?????????

Honestly if it were me and the $$ was good. I would tough it out and just set the money aside for baby furniture. It would make it sooo worth it to know the money will be spent on baby stuff

If it's that stressful though it can't be good for your health. If deep down you feel it is seriously affecting your health, I say quit.

I guess I am not much help.... I'll send instead.

Thanks! That's totally my situation. I can make a ton of money in the next month. There's just a part of me that feels like the money isn't worth it at this point. I don't know. I will probably end up sticking it out. It's always easier to find a job when you have one. My other issue is that if I quit now I wont have any health insurance unless I pay for the COBRA or convince DF we should get married now. (Hey, maybe I should just take him on my business trip to Reno and we could get married then).

Sorry I must have missed this post. Just wondering what you decided to do? And I am really sorry that your job sucks so much but I am so glad to hear that you are going to be quitting. working full time takes up the majority of your time during the week and it should really be something you enjoy or can at least tolerate. I hope you are doing better no matter what you decided.

Well ladies, this has been a hard decision to make. Probably one of the hardest in my life. But I'm quitting this week. It makes me a bit nervous to quit on such short notice and without having another job. But I am honestly miserable. I don't think I can take another trip. I would rather go back to my old job sitting at a desk, barely making enough to get by than to continue working in this job. I am mentally and physically exhausted. Oh well, what can I say.....

Everyone cross your fingers I find something better soon!

Congrats! Now relax and start job hunting...LOL

I think with the situation you really couldn't make a bad decision either way.

I am sure you feel 100% better right now. Things will fall into place

Jenn.

Congrats on your decision to leave your job! I can totally relate. I quit my job too bc I was so stressed and exhausted. It was really too bad, I LOVED my job but the management got really, really, really bad and when I saw other employees being treated as badly, I left in disgust. (And since, so have the majority of the employees that were still there when I left.)
After a couple of months I had to have something to do so I decided to do temporary work thru a staffing firm and I found I love doing that! It's total freedom, no one can tell you when you have to work - you just let them know what days you want to work, and if you don't like what they give you to do, you just tell them that and they find something else for you. And you get to learn all sorts of new jobs and meet new people. Not to mention you basically get to "try out" a company to see if you'd actually want to work there if they are hiring.
Good luck, I know it's a tough decision to make, but I think you made the right one. Your sanity has got to come first

Congrats! You never really know what will happen. You could find an amazing job tomorrow that you love and pays well. You don't really know until you do it. I am so glad that is what you decided. I hate to think of you being misreble for another month.

Remember when one door close's a bigger and better one opens up!
