I'm currently employed and receive a steady biweekly paycheck of around $1300. I cannot express how unhappy I am here, and have been applying to others jobs across the country since January. I would say I send in about 10-20 on busy weeks, 30-40 when I really get going. I've gotten zero interviews, no offers, barely any responses except for some rejection letters. I cannot keep going like this. I will seriously lose my mind. Every day I feel like walking off. My shoulders are so tense you could break bricks over them.
So it's been over 5 months of active application, but over 2 years of serious depression and unhappiness because of my current job. I have about $5k saved up. It's not much at all, I know. I have no debt, my apartment is $500/mo +$100 utilities, car payment is $600/mo, and I spend between $600-$1,000 on my credit card for groceries, clothes, whatever I feel like.
At this point, my mental health is deteriorating fast and I'm on the verge of crying every single day when I get off work. I want to just quit. But I know that this is so, so reckless and I probably won't last long. Is it even worth it to consider? Do I just suck it up for now? How many people have "just quit" and have it work out? I'm afraid I'll just be unemployed for the next 6 months, or possibly forever, and then what will I do?
I am so desperate. I want out so badly. I don't know what to do. Someone smarter than me please advise me.
