Highly considering going part time at work

They're not listening to me when I tell them I am absolutely drained from being overworked. When I'm home all I do is sleep. Even bf has noticed. He had a long talk with me last night and asked if I would consider going part time because of how full time is negatively affecting my health.

I'm definitely considering it. It would mean losing my full time benefits, but to be honest, the insurance through work is WILDLY expensive and not very good anyway. I had more coverage when I had insurance through the state. It wouldn't even be that much less money, because I would still be working at least 30 hours per week, and I could pick up over time if I wanted to.

Typical. If I may ask though, what even does insurance through work typically cost?

I remember in high school I worked at Kroger, during the orientation they were trying to sell us insurance. Even though I was part time, but I remember looking at the price and thinking, "That would be my entire paycheck." I was 17 so still on my parents-'s insurance anyways.
