I quit working for other companies and started my own. Its five years now, sometimes it feels overwhelming but most days I love doing it. The first couple of years were awful though. Incredibly hard and ran into issues with a co-founder that almost killed the venture. Got through that but still not sure how. I still do occasional jobs for other people for cashflow and while I don't enjoy that, I do enjoy the freedom to turn those down when I feel like it. It helps that my role is diverse: coding, small scale manufacturing, on-farm work and travel. If you hate your current job, perhaps try to nail down whether that is due to temporary circumstances. I would also consider talking to a therapist if you feel that depression is affecting your life. A good therapist can really help get you settled and make a healthier mindset for making big decisions like changing jobs.
