I couldn't face it anymore and felt so self conscious. I hate myself for not being able to deal and running away. Just at a loss right now as to how to overcome this with any job I might face, and I know it's gonna be even harder to find work now with an even longer employment lapse on my resume. People in this world have so many more issues than I do, and here I am, unable to get over myself and stick it out at a job. I just have no motivation and can't bring myself to care. Life has just finally caught up to me I guess. Sigh.

Hi, Lost, I can totally empathize with your feelings. I recently quit a good-paying job because I couldn't handle the hours and was feeling stressed and burned out. I felt out of balance...work, eat, sleep, repeat until death.
I spent a while examining not just my situation but my response to it and why I felt that way and what steps I needed to take to improve. At this point, I'll try to get better and deal with the financial consequences when and if they happen. BTW, since I decided to cut back on my work schedule, I have felt much more at peace with my decision. My gf mentioned the other day that I am more happy and relaxed. Good luck!
