Desperate to resign

[V1Rotate]

I can't think straight. My workplace is so awful, it would take me a week to write it all down.

I've decided to resign next week. It's a 3 month notice period so I have time to find something else, plus some saving to tide me over.

It's affecting my MH and usually I'm very resilient. No job is worth the anxiety and stress I feel every day.
My stomach is in knots all the time, can't sleep, can't eat.

I do not know what I expect from this thread but I just wanted to write it down and make it real.

I do agree that your mental health is paramount but are you in a financial position to be out of work in the short to mid term? How likely are you really to find a new position in this climate? Personally, if I were to be considering leaving anyway, I would be taking sick leave and looking at my options in a more secure fashion. How long have you been there?

Thanks for replying.
I've been there 6 years but the last 4 have been horrific.
I can afford to to be off for about 2 months after the end of my notice period, so it is doable. Gives me 5 months to find something.

I don't want to go off sick really, Im sure I will feel a million times better when I know I'm leaving.

Job market not too bad where I am.

Honestly I would have something lined up before you quit. This isn’t a good market for job hunting!

I know where you are coming from because I have been there and you want out but I think you need to be careful. In this market, 3 months while you also have to work and 2 more months isn't a long time to secure a new role.

If you are seriously struggling, you are entitled to sick leave. It doesn't mean you can't leave as well. It just gives you some breathing space.

Sorry I forgot say, I'm not in UK and not the same concerns over CV/job losses here.
