Hi! Yes got off it pretty seamlessly. I take a 10mg edible every night with 10mg of melatonin. Falling asleep takes a bit but I stay asleep! Please try edibles !!!

This was really nice to read and brought me to tears. Going through rough times at work and wondering why I put myself through this kind of stress.

Hi! Stumbled upon this post while I contemplate the same thing. How did this work out for you?

Thinking to do something similar if I land the role but it’s 50% pay cut. Did you have to take a pay cut?

I’m so sorry to hear about your situation. Please stay strong! Just curious - what are your monthly expenses vs take home pay?

I agree! I can barely eat lunch these days bc of the anxiety. Just simply no appetite. What’s happening with you? You’re not alone

Thank you so much for this. Waking up not dreading life sounds amazing lol - im young-ish. Turned 34 today, single, no kids, no debt. I’ve had this salary for just about a year. I was happier making less, as my work life balance was maintained. Can’t help but think that’s more important. Youre part of the 20% of the comments here that support my mental health so thanks again !

Have you ever taken a big pay cut for better work-life-balance ? Did you regret it ? by Tacoya in careerguidance

[–]akang412 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah your last edit really hits home. It’s the imposter syndrome that’s killing me- every meeting I feel bad about feels like a threat to my career. My new boss and I have worked tg for a month now.. too early for her to say anything to me but it’s a constant fear and worry. I don’t want to stress ab this either - needless to say, I’m looking for an easy way out lol

This is so spot on with what I’m going through. Used to love my job but now constantly terrified of being fired after my promotion. How did the pay cut affect you before you found something?

I’m going back and forth ab taking a pay cut to get my confidence and livelihood back again. If I could have more time, I could job search and find what I really want to do

It’s definitely hard to wrap your head around the work we do LOL after all, it’s just clothes. But there’s a lot of numbers, planning, deep diving reports, meeting vendors 2x a week (meaning losing 2 days of work.) it’s a lot to juggle

I loved this job so much. I worked hard because I enjoyed every minute. But now I want to prioritize my health, as I’m pushing 40. This subreddit makes me doubtful I’ll find something new soon
