Thank you for sharing and sorry to hear that you are feeling like this. A few things I’ve learned myself that might be helpful to think about are
- Try not to get too attached to a job or company and let it take over your life. Once you have finished for the day find some ways to clear your mind. For me I like to go for a walk, spend time with family, spend time on hobbies I enjoy.
- Figure out what it is exactly that you don’t like about your job, is it the company, people you work with, the particular role you are doing or the type of work in general. If it is the type of work then maybe studying to do something different is the best option, it may seem hard and time consuming now but could be more rewarding in the future.
- Most importantly, you need to stay positive and believe in yourself! You have skills and experience that are valuable to another employer and you have the ability to learn and grow. From my experience helping to hire staff in the past, finding a person with the right attitude and willingness to adapt and learn is probably more important than them having the exact skills for a role.
- If you are considering starting your own business then maybe that is something you can start small with and build gradually while still working in your existing job. That way challenge may not seem so hard and you have something positive to focus on after work.
