Planning on handing my notice in tomorrow as I’m generally just fed up of my role and I think people are starting to notice. I’m doing the same thing day in and day out it’s exhausting and boring and high caseload.I am NHS so my notice period is 3 months but I don’t think I can last that long.

I have about 4 months of savings so I will be ok for a little while. I’m happy to get a little part time job to keep us ticking over.

am I being silly? I have 3 kids mortgage bills to pay for. We will be really tight on our finances but at least I will be happy again.

Thing is it’s starting to make me very unwell. Headaches and panicky im in a very isolated role too. I’m going to offer 2 months and not come back after Christmas.

This is what sick leave us for op. Get signed off and start job hunting.

How is it the first year of your career? If you've no track record it'll be harder to find work. Are you sure you don't need to stick it out and adjust? The first year tends to be the hardest. Unless it's the wrong career entirely and you plan to retrain? I'd not just quit anyhow. Always easier to get work when you're in work already. Doesn't sound very smart just to resign, nor to offer two months when your notice period is three. Is there anything you can do or take for the headaches? Rather than quitting work I mean.
