Reading this, I wonder if quitting is the right thing do to. It could be, but it also might not be. How do you plan to reintegrate into work after quitting? What is the plan beyond quitting?
I also wonder what you have done to address anxiety before getting to the point of quitting? You don’t have to tell me, because I don’t need to know. I only ask, because there’s a lot a person can do to manage anxiety before quitting. Especially as you’re 4 months into a new job, and it can take between 6-12 months before a person feels settled into a new job. It is sometimes normal to feel overwhelmed at the beginning of a new job, especially after the novelty has worn off.
I’m not saying that your job is more important than your mental health (it definitely is not), I’m just offering another perspective which you may or may not have already considered.
Have you tried other things like; detoxing from social media, meditation, massage therapy, CBT, etc…
It sounds like you’ve worked pretty hard to get to where you are today, and quitting might be a knee-jerk reaction to an anxiety issue. The problem with anxiety is that it can be pervasive and creep into every facet of your life, whether you’re working or not.
Sometimes the challenge is learning to manage anxiety while managing other life responsibilities.
Good luck. I hope you feel better soon.
