Job: when to suck it up or to change?

More of a WWYD. Also I named changed. I have worked in the same company for over a decade and I’m deeply deeply unhappy. However, everything looks good on paper: good pay, great flexibility, good career progression, good training, interesting work etc. It’s however very stressful and requires significant overtime (biting into the rest of my life, inc family time). Every time I turn up I have this gut feeling that I’m done with that place, I get chest pains as soon as I walk through the door (I know I’m stressed), and I’m resentful and bitter, I get angry and bitchy. I’m talking to the competition at the moment, which I know will be just the same but I feel the fresh start and change of people and environment will do me good. Should I just suck it up and be grateful or listen to what my whole body and mind are trying to say? I’m tired of being resilient. Thank you

Provided you accept the chance it may be just as bad, or worse, than your current situation, you don't have a lot to lose. I would do it, it may open up new opportunities for you.

Change jobs. It’s affecting your health. Also I think too long in any one job is not great on CVs now so it’s good to make a move anyway.
