Does anyone else think about quitting on a regular basis?

Question

I think about quitting my job about twice a week. And I even like my job. How about you?

I like what I do and I like the people I work with. But I have a few auto-immune diseases that while they don't stop me from working, they make life a struggle. And sometimes I'd like to just give up and stay at home and not struggle anymore. My husband could support me but I'd feel like a lazy freeloader and I can just imagine people asking me what I do and me not being able to think of what to say.

I am on medication to manage my symptoms, but since they are incurable diseases I won't ever really get well. I feel so tired now and I'm only 32.

Answer 1

probably only about half the workforce does

Answer 2

I think if all are honest we all would quit are jobs and think about it weekly ! You might just feel that you have more to other and could be doing more so ask your self if you would like to move up the ladder into management or just a complete change ! But what I do is just check the jobs listing out and think thank god I'm not in that job when i really want to quit

Answer 3

i do too, but not as regularly as you stated. I think the problem with your job is not u liking it or not but maybe it has to do with the people you work with. Do you know that you spend quite a lot of time with your co-workers than you do with your family in a day? as a result, they do have a looooooooooot of influence on you. Hence if you do not feel ok or in have a great relationship with them, you'll hate the job. Also, u might have been on the job for too long and starting to feel unchallenged due to the monotonic routine.
maybe u need to change jobs

Answer 4

I think about quitting very often. It's not that I don't like my job, I am just not challenged at all. I have to fight myself every morning. Yuck.

Answer 5

Me....everyday....I like the work..it's the assinine people I have to deal with.
