I have been juggling ft work with a family for a few years now and am totally worn out. I am now off work ill, the doctor says I should "take a serious look at my life".

I don't want to go back to the long hours even longer commute, high stress and time away from my family.

I have been thinking about setting up my own business. But I am worried about taking the chance. I have lost alot of confidence over the last few months and think thats part of why I am uncertain.

Has anyone else left a stressful job because they wanted a better balance to their lives?

If you didn't go for it would you always wonder "what if"? If so, I think you should go for it. I'm sure being self employed can be extremely stressful at points though - there's no salary guaranteed at the end of the month.
