Definitely agree with this. I was eventually so burnt out that I quit my job and wallowed in depression for a good 6 months and started therapy. After starting to rebuild myself and my personal environment, I finally felt like I was in the right place to work again. I recently started a new job and I feel like a different person. I couldn't imagine procrastinating because I'm so motivated to work again.
I know what I did is maybe not an option for a lot of people (thank god for the German social net and healthcare system), but I feel many could really benefit from therapy and focusing on their mental health for a while.
I recently started a new job and I feel like a different person. I couldn't imagine procrastinating because I'm so motivated to work again.
I am hoping to do the same over the next few months. I haven't started looking, and I am quite horrified to do so, but my back is up against the wall at this point, and I have no where left to hide.
If I stay at my current job, my life will be a constant spiral downwards, and if I leave but cannot find another job, then my life will still be a constant spiral downwards, so I have nothing to lose in my search.
