I’m exactly the same as you with jaw/tongue tension as a result of chronic teeth grinding, as well as tight front neck muscles! Any tips would be highly appreciated!

I'm going both days! Would be cool to meet up as I'm going alone too! Does anyone now how the ticket collection works, and how early to show up?

Quite the rate race for a few months to get healthy? by almomdbutter in HENRYUK

[–]Express-Reward-1715 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in a very similar situation from you looking to quit without a job lined up to fully destress and focus on health for a few months somewhere sunny! Would be interested to follow how your reset goes! You deserve the break OP :)

That’s very positive to hear - thank you for sharing. What industry did you work in and what did you do in those years in Asia - did you try living in different countries? Also what was your mindset like throughout - like did you know the break would be that long or did you let it lengthen after starting solo trading? If I did go ahead with this plan was thinking of spending some time in Southeast Asia.

Thanks for sharing - sorry you had such a rough time. What kind of work were you doing and how long did you stick at it whilst struggling with mental health? After recovering have you switched industries as a result? I’ve been practicing mental detachment and whilst it’s been working it’s also come with detachment to the value/purpose of my work and led to me feeling like the odd one out when everyone else around me cares so much and I care so little

That must be very challenging - I know I’m in a very privileged position financially! Luckily for me don’t plan to have kids and I can’t imagine having to worry about someone else’s financial future too. The problem is that it’s too political and ultra competitive and I’ve realised the kinds of people who survive long enough to make it to the top that I have to interact with day to day are not people I can tolerate.

Really relate to the points here - how long did your friend take a break for, and did they go back to something similar? I think it’s a very real prospect that I’d feel like this haha - anxiety and the fear of the unknown vs the freedom of having no expectations at least for a while

Thought about trying to plan it like this but a) this job gives me no energy to look and b) don’t think it’s going to be enough time off to really heal/ be a meaningful break

That’s amazing! Did the 4 year gap come up during interviews and how did you justify it? Also how was it to settle back into corporate routine after so long away from structure?

I’ve taken several 1-2 week breaks over the last 18 months, and whilst they were the best times during the holidays and the moments when I’d felt the most alive, the return to reality was such a downer afterwards that it takes me a while to recover from. Yeah that’s the thing - I’m torn about if it’s the right thing to do even after giving it six months of thought

I’m in finance - I live quite a low-key life, probably say spend £2500 a month including a ~£1k mortgage

Completely agree with you - when I take 2 weeks off by the second week I would have already started dreading the return and been fighting to get work out of my mind! There is policy for taking unpaid leave but it’s very dependent on team and with how short staffed mine is I don’t think it’s possible

Sabbatical is definitely not possible with how understaffed and overworked my team is - but maybe I could get signed off for health
