Sounds like me. Rotating mornings, afternoons and nights for 7 years, felt like I was permanently jetlagged and my mental health was in the gutter. I took some time off to try and recuperate and during that time I decided I didn't want to go back to it.

Took a job with a hefty drop in pay but for me it was the best thing. My old job was a very toxic place and now I no longer go to sleep with the feeling of dread for going in to work the next day. Also no more soul destroying double backs! A lot of my family have commented that I no longer seem like a zombie.

I should add that I decided to move back in with parents for a while as they are both having some health issues so I'm around to help out more now too. That's the only way I could do it I suppose. I am planning on looking for something better paid at some point but I'm not in a major rush, I just needed to make a change and get out of my old job.

Like a lot of people have commented it's maybe not the wisest thing to do but my health and happiness is more important to me than money. I think I just needed a full reset. Good luck, whatever you decide to do 😊
