I Quit My Job

I finally DID!!! Yes I did it. Last May was my last day after working for almost 6 years there. Was I happy? jubilant? Over the moon? Yes yes yes, yet I feel a pang of a sadness, a great one. On one side, leaving my corporate job means getting back my freedom (no more working 9-6 anymore, no more business trip, no more mundane routine). Yet, on the other side, it also means leaving my small "family", my boss and my colleague. It's like one of the hardest decision for me to take. Moreover, it is not only the people that I find hard to leave behind, I have another problem, a big one that keeps bothering me. I have no job line-up after quitting, and it feels like a terrifying nightmare you can't escape from.

Somehow deep inside I know I worry sick about this fact, knowing that I don't have any income to support myself and my family. That what keeps me awake most of the nights. I am still struggling now and learning to cope with this problem. Hopefully soon pretty soon I will find a way to deal with this.

Those decisions are always bittersweet .... good luck on your job search ...

A little fore thought might have led you to secure another job before quitting your existing job and cutting off you income stream. 🤷‍♀️ Just sayin...

@TexChik @Lena04 I never quit a job in the past without being ready to start a new one after my last day, and always put in two weeks before hand. The only exception was my last job, I had gotten too sick to continue and trying for disability, I have my hearing next month after being denied on initial attempt and appeals denial.
@NativeOregonian I am so sorry to hear that. Hope the next one will be granted. Wish you luck.

@Lena04 Thank you 🤗
you wouldnt have these problems if you found a different job before quitting, sometimes the worst things happen when you loose your security. I needed to go to the emergency room without insurance the short period of time i was in between jobs and I did not have insurance, so it was way more expensive then i thought so i would recommend getting a job as soon as possible.
