Ask HN: Escaping Difficult Employment Situation?
Hello, I am currently trapped in a job I don't want. I can't get out because it's really hard for me to either find work locally, or find a job that I can even tolerate. Question: How do you escape a job when you have no energy to keep going? When you are mentally breaking down but still have to keep going because society doesn't care about damaged people? I'm also dealing with a midlife crisis so that's certainly a variable. My bigger issue is this: It takes ALL of my executive function to force myself to do a job I hate all day long. I have nothing left in the tank at the end of the day. My entire life is collapsing and I am having a bit of a breakdown / panic attack because it took me YEARS to find this job during one of the most stressful periods of my life. The idea of job hunting again is just... no. I honestly think I'd rather die... its ups
