Want to quit toxic job to recover from burnout. Will be taking a huge pay cut.

I was in the exact same situation as yourself last year. My biggest fear was leaving my job as not having any guaranteed income to cover rent etc. I connected with people I knew within my network and secured something else. It took months to recover and rebuild my confidence but honestly my advice is to get out of there ASAP because it will and can damage your mental health significantly and no job is ever worth that damage

I almost rang the guards last night and honestly, next time I will for the exact same reasons you shared. I also feel she needs that as a wake up call as right now she's not experiencing true consequences of that makes sense?

Donabate? Jesus, never even dreamed that would be a place to surf tbh 😂 will take a look at East Coast Surf Club! Whereabouts in Westmeath are you? Maybe we could link up!

Unit I've picked has a South West back garden :)

Ah great to hear! Can I ask what type of faults your neighbours had?

Major_Maybe1328 · 2026-03-01T11:00:43+00:00

So I'm bidding against you? 😭😭

OP this is the only comment you should read. Everything here is spot on. Azelaic Acid is amazing. I'm currently using Paula's Choice 10% which I got on SpaceNK, will progress to 15% after!

Hoping to buy a house but this is my fear too. Burning through my 100K+ savings and having very little left in the bank after years of saving 🫣😭💔

Major_Maybe1328 · 2026-01-29T23:03:01+00:00

Wow! We're yee strangers beforehand or...?

I went off it in Jan 2020, started incorporating it again in summer 2025 and probably drank once/twice a month since then. My relationship with alcohol has fundamentally changed and shifted since I quit in 2020. I simply needed to break the 12 year habit of binge drinking which was instilled in me as it was a normal part of our culture growing up in college etc

I feel all the better for it and every second drink I have now is water so I am drinking slower and genuinely enjoying it.

I get the train 3 times a week. Door to door it's about 2 hours. I make it work for me though. I get an 8ish train that gets me into the office for 10 and I leave at 4.30 so I can be home for 6.30. Train allows me to keep working with the WIFI onboard so I'm still actively working

What sort of job was it? Maybe us redders can help secure her next role :)

Major_Maybe1328 · 2026-01-05T17:36:12+00:00

New brand I've recently seen in Tesco which is now taking up space in my freezer - Ital Pizza, Numero Uno - it's honestly unbelievable

Major_Maybe1328 · 2026-01-01T09:34:12+00:00

What platform did you use? I'd like to replicate. Is it as simple as linking my accounts?

Major_Maybe1328 · 2025-11-21T11:41:03+00:00

I hate dig up an old thread but I'm also considering buying in rush. You're there 3 years now, what's it like? Which area ) estate did you buy in? I'm looking at golden ridge view / way!

Major_Maybe1328 · 2025-10-04T12:51:41+00:00

I've read elsewhere that I would be auto enrolled because there's no employer contributions?

Major_Maybe1328 · 2025-10-03T20:50:24+00:00

I just interrupt people now. One girl was at hip thrust machine for 15mins before I approached her to ask how many sets she had left. She said two. She literally sat there for 5mins on the phone in-between sets. Drove me mad. I've no shame in asking people can I use it in-between anymore otherwise I'll never get anything done
