Life can often feel unfair, resembling a daily survival game that is both draining and heavy. Since starting a full-time job that does not align with my passion as an introverted person, I have experienced nausea and a tendency to vomit, with my heart racing—a clear symptom of anxiety. With each passing day, it worsens. I find myself grappling with suicidal thoughts at every inconvenience in my life.
hi @bellatsina,
firstly, thank you for sharing here. i know it takes a lot of courage to acknowledge what’s going on and i want you to know that your feelings are completely valid. i’m really sorry you’re going through this. it sounds like the pressure from your job and the anxiety it’s causing are becoming overwhelming. i can’t imagine how tough it must be to deal with that kind of anxiety every day.
when your job doesn’t align with your passions, especially as an introverted person, it can be even harder to find motivation and balance. it’s no wonder you’re feeling this way, with so much emotional and physical pressure building up!
experiencing suicidal thoughts is a clear sign that you’ve been carrying too much for too long. you don’t have to bear this weight on your own. there’s no shame in needing support, especially when things feel this heavy.

i feel you. as an introvert, finding a job that doesn’t drain all your energy is so important. i’m really sorry you’re dealing with anxiety and those tough thoughts—it sounds super heavy. please reach out for help if you can, you don’t have to handle this on your own. life can feel like a survival game sometimes, but your mental health matters. take care of yourself and try to find little ways to protect your energy. sending you strength @bellatsina !!!
oomph - draining and heavy. i understand you completely. on most days, getting out of bed to work makes my body feel like lead. it’s like my body physically doesn’t want to go to work, no matter how much i force it to.
but no matter how heavy my days are, i’ve never felt suicidal over my job. i don’t think this is normal, and i second @mindmirror’s advice. you should get help or maybe reach out to someone really close who can understand and give you the right level of support.
i know this might be a stupid question to ask - but any chance you can quit your job? if it’s making you feel suicidal then i don’t think the money you get is worth it anymore, to be honest
Thank you for your kind words. To answer that question, I submitted my resignation a week after I was hired, but they never allowed me to leave. Even now, my anxiety is triggered and I end up vomiting most of the time when I feel anxious. Choosing this career has been the worst decision of my life. I regret choosing this career.
Hi @bellatsina , I’m really sorry you’re going through this. It’s clear your job is causing a lot of stress and anxiety, and the fact that you tried to leave but couldn’t must feel overwhelming. Your physical symptoms, like nausea and vomiting, show how much this is affecting you. Please know your health and well-being come first, and no job is worth sacrificing that.
If you feel like talking things through, you can reach our careline at 01548770410 or message us via WhatsApp at 01130116798 if texting feels more comfortable. Sharing your thoughts might help lighten what you’re carrying, even just a bit.
You don’t have to go through this alone. Please reach out, we’re here for you
Just an update. I resigned for the second time, and finally they accepted it since I told them about my mental and physical health. I was so unmotivated to go to work; I just want to lay down in my bed doing nothing. I feel so helpless. I hope after this, I will feel better. Healing is a process.
thank you for sharing your update and i want to acknowledge how brave it was for you to resign again and advocate for your mental and physical health. taking that step wasn’t easy but you’ve prioritised your well-being and that’s something to be proud of!!
it’s completely normal to feel unmotivated and even helpless right now—leaving a job, especially one that caused so much stress, can leave you feeling drained. healing is absolutely a process & it’s okay to take this time to rest and allow yourself to recover at your own pace.
be kind to yourself during this period and remember that it’s okay to just “be” without pressure to figure everything out right away. if you need support along the way, don’t hesitate to reach out to someone you trust or seek professional guidance. you’ve already taken a big step toward healing and we’re here to support you.
proud of you for prioritising your health., it’s not easy at all to make that call. feeling helpless sucks but giving yourself time to heal is such a big step. take it day by day, u deserve to feel better. sending good vibes your way
