Resigned......have I done the right thing?

[psychoticbeetroot]

Recently resigned from my office job. Hugely stressful, ridiculous hours, restructuring etc. Total nightmare. Felt like I was having a breakdown. So I resigned with no job to go to. Whilst I felt like a huge weight was off my shoulders, and having the backing of my family, I'm starting to panic that I've made a mistake and should have stuck it out. So confused. Part of me still thinks I'm better off out of there. Part of me says I should withdraw my resignation. I don't want to mess the company about. I'm just so confused. I thought this was the right thing to do.

Don't panic and do anything in haste. How long ago did you hand in your notice?

I resigned without a job to go to last month (although I did have two interviews lined up) and have just finished my first week in my new job. The improvement to my mental health is amazing. How long is your notice? Start applying for stuff today :)

If things were less stressful there and management made an effort to sort things how would you feel about it then?

All I know is your mental health comes first. If your job is damaging your mental health you need to get out before it's too late.

Resigned just over a week ago.

Job will be changing due to restructure. However, I've been through hell over the last 6 months to be honest. Understaffed and I've tried to keep it all going. I'm not sure I trust them to be honest. Feel burnt by it all. Due to leave mid October.

Just be aware that they don’t have to accept you rescinding your resignation.

I resigned end of August with nothing to go to. I’m in the process of moving and will have proceeds of sale coming in but the difference it’s made just not having that fear of going in. End of month is a bit scary as House sale hasn’t gone through yet but I’ll manage.

I'm aware that they don't have to accept it. My manager did say if I did change my mind.... (mind u that isn't hr!). Just wobbling that I've made a big mistake. The. I remember what a complete state I was in about a fortnight ago, not being able to see a way out.

Your mental health is a precious thing. By the sounds of it, you e done the best thing.
What are you most worried about regarding consequences of this action? Perhaps we can help you go through what is causing the most anxiety for you?

Main concern is finding another job. Probably look for something part time, so I can be around after school. Worried that resigning will be a blot on my cv.

Personally I couldn't stay if I had tendered the resignation - you need to carry it through now!

I had that fear but as I was moving area and the commute became 1.5 hours I think that’s a fair reason x

How hard to anticipate it to be finding a new job? Just think of how you will feel not having to go back to that place again.

I resigned with nothing to go to and felt a sense of relief and freedom!

Within a month I had been offered a part time, no stress job at a university. Good luck OP! No job is worth your health - it’s just a job.
