The stress finally got to me...

Soon, you'll feel better!
A train station is where the train stops. A bus station is where the bus stops. On my desk, I have a work station.... _________________________________________________________ My programs never have bugs, they just develop random features.
I hope so, because right now I am thinking I may have made a mistake (even though I know it was the right thing to do:()

Kudos to you. It gets a lot easier to walk away from stressful jobs the older you get. :) My trouble now is the homelife stress. A little harder to just walk out. :(

In my last job, when I gave my notice, I down for couple of days. Even though I had a job waiting and I'd enough with my job, yet the guilty factor overwhelmed me. Couple days later I was back to normal. Sometime it takes just short time to settle with your decision. Look for the brighter future and try to leave the stress as much as possible behind you in your *current* (old) job. :rose:

So I resigned... after 3 and a half years of employment here, and one year of taking crap, I have decided to leave. I handed in my resignation and started to pack my stuff. I am very nervous as I don't know what I am going to do, but I was at the point of leave or the stress would kill me, so I know it was the best thing I could have done.

I did that once, I was unemployed for 6 months, got in debt for the first time, started stealing food, and went overboard with DXM. Good luck.

Thats the same way I felt when I did what you did. Its still hard to decide whether it was a mistake or not, but I am in a better situation now so it all worked out eventually.

You'll wake up the next day and feel strange, but after a couple of days you'll be much more relaxed. I've been there a few times and it always felt like the weight of the world was lifted (temporarily). Depending on your situation, try and get a plan together for what's next or else anxiety will creep in. I'm not sure which is worse! :-D

Yeah, I kept holding onto the hope it would get better, but after more then a year of it being crap, I figured it wasnt getting any better.

I was actually thinking of moving down south to that small island where everyone has 2 heads :p Most likely Devonport There are some awesome places down there and they are a lot more laid back then up here (NSW) I've got friends and family down there.. free accommodation for a few weeks while I find a place and job

So you did HSC and hit the work force? Thats what I did and given my time over I'd have worked for another qualification. Have you looked into doing a uni degree part time or by correspondance? Even something generic like an MBA will give you a good grounding in many things

Good on you. It's good to keep life in perspective. There is absolutely no point in wasting your precious time in a place you hate. Do things that make you happy, and stay laid back. You do this, and you'll likely be successful.

Yeah I have considered it, but never went any further. I may take it up now, but I will see what happens.
