[quote=Anonymous]My mental health has not been great since covid. Mostly anxiety, mild depression, perimenopause issues. I have always worked, pt, and then ramped up to FT about a year ago. My job is not "hard" but it is very intense. My eyes twitch, I get a pit in my stomach most days, and my anxiety is pretty bad. During weekends, I feel much better. DH makes 280k. Would you quit and do nothing for a bit? Or would you feel too bad about it? I feel enormous guilt generally, and know that everyone will judge if I do quit and think I am basically a weak person who cannot hack it. On top of that, I earn much less but health insurance is through me, so we'd have to do the ACA (dh's job is awful for insurance, way more than ACA). It is really the only thing keeping me working or I'd have quit already. Wwyd? It will not be easy finding a similar job with benefits. [/quote]
