[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was losing hair in clumps and started throwing up from stress multiple times per day. I developed stress dreams that woke me up throughout the night, every night. I was really unpleasant to be around on the rare occasion I wasn't working because I was so miserable and wound up.

It went on longer than I should have allowed but it was a prestigious job and I was in my 20s and single, so I spent all my time at work and it was hard to consider leaving because it felt like all I had.

Eventually my parents had a bit of an intervention and said they were concerned for my health, and offered to support me financially if I wanted to go back to school or take time off. It was hard to think about other jobs because everything I was being offered felt like a step down in prestige, so I didn't want to go that route. I got into a top grad program in a different field and lined up a very cushy part time job near school, and never looked back.

Now I am in a different field, make more money, work less hours.[/quote]
