By next month it’d make a year of me being at my current job, but I’ve been contemplating on quitting 6 months ago. Usually I’m able to rely on my conscience, and my peace of mind is a compass towards my life decisions. But every time I tell myself that I’ll look for a new job/plan the next step, I get a stress headache + the exhaustion/laziness of coming back from work. My mind is telling me that this job isn’t right for me and that I need to leave, but I still feel like there’s something pulling me back. Is this a sign that I need to stay or am I stuck in the comfort zone?

definitely sounds like youre stuck in the comfort zone. if you don't have at least 6 months of living expenses saved up then id try looking for a new job while you still work. its gonna be hard work and youre gonna be even more exhausted than you currently are but in the long term it will pay off

No one is gonna quit the job for you fam, your happiness is directly correlated to whatever choice you make in this instance

If you truly aren’t happy you gotta push thru whatever demons are getting in your way (laziness, exhaustion, etc) and truly quit cuz it’s something you want to do

All that other s*** is just excuses and will continue to hold you back. Do you really wanna be stuck at a job you don’t like?

You’re going to do it anyway, do it now so you don’t have to be like “I wish i did this earlier!”

Good advice in this thread so far
