I Quit My Job

A week ago,i took one of the hardest if not the hardest decision in my life...It was the time for me to close this chapter after of 15 years in the same job.I was 22 years old when i started and so happy,first job,a nice salary for my age back then and everything was great...Ofc things over the years has changed drastically,my salary went up but then started to going down due the financial crisis but the major problem wasn't that.Being in one job for so many years has perks but also has a downside as well,my boss thought that he could voice his opinion about my private life,about my choices...so many times we had a fight because my life outside the job is no one's else business but mine and ofc many more.
The last two years the situation became unbearable for me, extremely much overtimes without payment but the most important is,i felt drained mentally...i was working 12 to 14 hours per day for months but didn't care about that,what was worrying me the most is that i was exhausted mentally,i couldn't take it anymore.So we ended up here..
After a very long time im excited,a fresh start,i left behind my routine and im ready for something new!ofc I'm aware is not easy,ofc im scared but after a very long time my friends,my family can see me happy without being nervous or angry during weekends or holidays.

For now,im enjoying my time and studying my options,i have a few,and im very positive for a first time after of some year's.

I wish you all the best. It's not easy making that decision, but when you're mentally drained, it's the best choice.

@JerseyGal Exactly,i just felt that it was the time,i just felt it.I couldn't let my self worry,or being nervous during saturday because my boss were calling me several times to tell me things about monday and so many more examples.I know is going to be hard,but i also know it was the best choice.

@ili1981 I did the same four years ago and never looked back. I was so stressed back then. It's the best choice I've ever made. I know any job can cause stress, etc, but when you get to the mentally exhausted stage, it's time to start thinking about what to do. 🙂
