In my first job I reached a point where every day I'd wake up and I would quite literally dread the day ahead. It was hard to realise that I was suffering from anxiety and that I actually didn't enjoy what I was doing. I was fresh out of uni and I just thought that that's what all working adults feel like.
Looking back at it it's mind boggling how I didn't quit sooner.
If you are in a similar position consider if you're actually happy at your workplace. It's easy to tell yourself that "it's just a phase" and to "hold out a little longer" - more often than not these phases become the norm.

- petargyurov 6y ago> What if the workplace is not the problem, but me instead? That's a valid concern. Unfortunately it's one of those things that only _you_ can find the answer to. Getting experience in different companies helps here because you have something to compare your experiences with. Ask yourself what problems you're facing. Write it down; it really helps. If you are the problem you are also the answer.
- olikas 6y agoI was in similar situation. I didn't quit, and spent quite a lot of time figuring out what was the real issue that me miserable. It turned out it was something I could change without quitting. I managed to change it, but I first needed to understand the real root cause. It is like debugging your life. Mindfulness and introspection are great tools in those times.
