Damn, are you me? I quit my job in IT consulting some years ago and switched to a governement QC posiion. Still, I struggle and with covid and remote working even more.

I often ask myself what`s wrong with me, but I can definately say my mental health is more and more fucked up since I joined the workforce. I always had my fears and insecuriies, but that 9 to 5 lifestyle really pushes me to the edge.

Maybe it really is the wrong job after all.

Yeah quitting the 9 to 5, I saw such a huge difference in mental health. It actually took a few months of unemployment for me to fully feel well. It was bliss. But alas, I am back working and back in the same trap.
