I’ve been feeling really drained by my job lately. I’m a 23-year-old female working a 9-5 desk job in London since January. While the team is nice, and I do my job well, the work itself is incredibly boring and it’s sucking the life out of me. My commute is about 45 minutes, which isn’t too bad for London, and the pay is decent, but I wake up every morning feeling exhausted and miserable. I find myself on the verge of tears or sleep throughout the day, just counting down the hours until I can go home. I know everyone has their bad days, but I dread going to work so much that I sometimes hope something will happen to keep me from going in. The thought of this being my life forever is really overwhelming. I’ve been considering a career change to become a nail tech, which I currently do as a side hustle and absolutely love, but the idea of making that leap feels daunting. I’ve had similar experiences with other part-time jobs in the past, where I would wake up crying at the thought of going in. It took a year to complete all the security checks for this current job, so I’m grateful to have it, especially given how tough the job market is in London. But it’s really taking a toll on my mental health. I’m reaching out to see if anyone else has felt this way or has any advice on how to make my current situation more bearable, or how to pursue my passion on the side more effectively. Thanks for listening!
