Call it a third life crisis, but when I got out of therapy today I got a call from my boss and pulled the trigger. It's wild how privileged I have to be to be able to do something like this.

Yeah, but you know what?

Good on you

I quit my customer service job after it started driving me to self-harm

Walked in one day, grabbed all my stuff, left a big note saying I QUIT on my desk, turned my phone off and drove back home

We shouldn't be driven to kill ourselves over this bullshit

Thank you.

It's not quite the same because I'm a "professional" quitting a job "at the top of my field" but I just can't do it anyone. I've dreaded coming into work every day for months and I'm just at a breaking point.

I was in the same place 2 months ago. The first month after I quit was healing. I eventually looked back and realized it was the company, not the career, that was toxic. I don't regret quitting, it was kinda sudden but boy I was gonna burst if I had to go back one more day. Job market seems dry AF right now, but oddly I got 4 calls today out of the blue.

Luck and healing homie
