When you have to quit your job

Man is a creature that develops through errors, conscious or accidental. And if some can be corrected, some to learn, and others to forget, then in choosing a profession and further work, the payback can be long and painful. What to do if the work does not bring former pleasure? If every morning you rush to the office as hard labor, do not see the scope for development, you do not have enough time for hobbies and loved ones, you are constantly sick and suffer from an unbearable feeling of longing. Perhaps it is time to resign or shift!





Editorial "Site" I have compiled a list of reliable signs that indicate that it is time for you to quit your job or change your field of activity today! To preserve health and improve personal life, psychologist Anna Kiryanova advises this.

Of course, sometimes it is impossible to leave work. Children, loans, necessary payments... And there's no other job, like in a tiny town. These are extreme circumstances, I understand. But we have to understand this: work can kill us. Or destroy health, physical and mental.

Sometimes evacuation is the only way to save yourself. There is often a chance to find another job. But you can improve to such a state that simply will not have the strength to look for something. There are signs that work is ruining you. You're in danger.





You're in danger at work. The boss makes you break the law, for example. You know it's dangerous. Anticipate the possible consequences. And you're always anxious. Even if nothing happens, anxiety will lead you to illness and take away your strength.





If you tolerate aggressive attacks that humiliate your personality. Or a nasty molestation that never stops. You constantly feel humiliated, your feelings are offended. It's no use persuading yourself! Humiliation is the strongest psychotrauma that destroys health and takes away faith in oneself.





If you don’t have time for yourself. One girl even began to live at work, there was such a case in practice. I put in a sofa and slept on it, and on a rare weekend I went home - she had an irregular working day.

She earned well, but did not even have time to spend money. If you do not have time for life, it is not a job, but hard labor. And then the nervous system will retaliate for the lack of rest and switching.





After a vacation or a weekend, the thought of going back to work is terrifying. You feel physically sick at the thought of working in the same place again. To tears, to nausea, you do not want to go back to the torture chamber. The contrast between vacation and work is too strong. The work seems unbearable.





It's not a job. It's a nuclear bay on a submarine, like in a movie about heroic submariners. You're in real danger. The body sees no other way to avoid torture than to become seriously ill.

If you’ve been sick or injured almost continuously in the last 3-4 months, your subconscious mind may have been trying to warn you that you’re going to get sick a little longer. And you get a release from work - this is how criminals are released from prison due to an incurable disease.





Health matters most. The money earned will then go to treatment. Not the fact that it will help, but a depleted resource will not allow you to find something new. Who needs a humiliated, humiliated, overworked man? If you have the slightest chance to leave, leave. If not, you're in slavery, sad as it is. But they also fled slavery when they wanted to preserve the most precious thing, life.”





Advice for those who dream of quitting, but can not decide
  1. It'll be scary, but it won't be boring!
    Fear is a fascinating feeling! No wonder many people like to tickle their nerves, watching horror movies or doing extreme entertainment. Without adrenaline, life would be boring and monotonous. Change is always scary. It is terrible to break up relations, it is scary to leave your native place, if there is no new one in sight, it is scary to change your profession. But if you give up fear and open your heart to change, you will find a fascinating path and many new experiences. Quitting work is scary, but it's definitely not boring.




  2. You probably won't know until you try.
    Is it possible to discover your true abilities and find your place in the sun without trying? If you are not happy with the field in which you work today, change it. It is possible that you will succeed in something radically opposite! In a few years, you will look back and not believe that you once worked in today’s position.


  3. You're not your job.
    Remember that you are not only a career and a career. Speaking about ourselves, first of all, we talk about who we work and what we have achieved in this area. But the work is not us, but only a part of us. If you do decide to resign, do not seek the approval of others and do not justify yourself to people. This is your choice, and you do not have to explain your motives and plans for the future.




In short, if you have read the end of the article, you have to run without looking back. Perhaps none of the above describes your emotional state, but the fact that you are interested in this topic indicates dissatisfaction with your current job. Decision to change jobs Without steady ground under your feet is one of the hardest things in life, but staying in a hated job is even harder.

Would you be able to give up a depressing job and change your field of activity? Not so long ago, we wrote why it is necessary to take sick leave as often as possible and in no case go to work with severe malaise. They also explained why young people quit their jobs without a good reason.
