I relate so much.. Quitting is an irreversible decision, especially in this economy. It is a very difficult decision to make. But for me, I decided to choose my happiness first and my mental health has improved significantly. It's therapeutic listening to this . Thank you. It is a great reminder that we really do need to prioritize our mental health first (instead of choosing what we think is "best" or what others want from us)

After working for more than three years in an industry that requires working 70+ hours per week, it's time to go, not because I just watched this video. But I made the call on my own. And thank you for sharing this video. It reaffirms my decision, and I am not apologetic at all.

Geat video, thank you so much..

I feel like you are calling me out but in a great way, wish I had a friend like you -

The end really resonated with me. Thanks

A very insightful and well thought out video, thanks for posting. I appreciate your mindful and calm style

Great inside. Thanks for sharing it. ✌️

Great video, please share more details about your sabbaticals!

Oh no thinking about what I would regret if I died tomorrow gave me my answer I think. Shit. I would regret not taking the time off to actually destress. I start in a new team in the same company on Monday (which was sprung on me as a surprise last wednesday) and literally had a mini holiday a week ago. The fact that I am fully stressed again and need an actual break is glaringly obvious to me now. 😢

I've been working as a mailman for the last 1,5 years. Aside from doing that i walk the dog three times a day. I don't have a car and ride the bike everywhere (granted it's electric). But despite all that i somehow managed to gain significant weight. As a result i'm always exhausted, always tired, taking naps every other day, which only stresses me out even more and results in even more coping behavior such as eating. I also do nothing anymore in my free time except watch KZfaq. Even playing video games is too much work for me. Forget about hobbies that require discipline like music or game design. On top of that i also have a ridiculously short fuse and lose my temper every single day at work. Apart from that i don't feel any emotions most of the time. Whether it's the job causing this or something else, in any case it's time for a break. Only two more weeks to go, then i'm starting my jobless healing phase.

I work in hospitality and I've been wanting to quit and change industry (I'm studying marketing). Even on the good days I still want to quit, my body is completely exhausted from working shifts with low staffing. What's worse is that I think I'm exaggerating and it's actually not that bad. But switching to a different industry is so daunting when you have limited experience and are still studying 😢

Maybe you aren't the best person to ask for this but what do you think of going to med school after quitting tech? my sister did it a long time ago and now making $700k as a radiologist, wfh, no politics like tech; 4 days a week of work (of course, you have to do well in med school to get into the top "lifestyle" fields
