going crazy

I don't feel like I can take the stress of my job any more. I'm paniced scared and want to quit. I'm suicidal but don't have the guts to tell my husband I need to quit. Does anybody else get paniced and scared and feel like they have to quit their job or commit suicide? I'm losing it y'all.

I am sorry to read you are so distressed. I would answer yes, I have felt that way, except I really don't want to commit suicide. But would I like the distress to go away? Oh, yes, very much. My job makes my depression ten times worse but I cannot afford to go without a job, and jobs aren't very plentiful right now. So I stay; but I have a long term plan. I think you should confide in your husband and ask his help in figuring out how you can find a happier medium. Just talking to someone you can trust will help ease your distress. If you don't think your husband is the right person, try to find someone else not connected with the company you work for to discuss your situation.

I can definitely relate. My goodness, I've been going through similar things this past year. Though I would say I don't want to commit suicide but I definitely often feel like I truly want to die, I just don't have the guts to actually do it.

I don't know your whole situation so I don't know what is best for you but, take this with a grain of salt: Quit your job, I know it's also scary to just do that but you're obviously in the wrong place. Be honest with your husband, tell him you need to quit, he loves you and will support you.

Quitting my last job was probably the best thing I did. It put me in a rough spot financially for a while but now I'm at a much much better job. Sometimes jumping into the deep end is the only way to get yourself motivated to swim. Quit and you'll have the time and energy to look for something better, something so so much better for you.

Thx for the replies u guys!! I talked to my husband and he,s supportive of me quitting my job. I,m so blessed to have him. Maybe I can take a little time off to de-stress some before getting another job. I will turn my notice n Monday and finish my 2 weeks.

Thc again for listening!!

good!

Yay!! I feel that the weight of the world has been lifted off my shoulders!! Thank God for a loving supportive husband!! Woohooooo!!

Monday I turned n my resignation and myboss didn't want me to quit. I asked her if I could stay prn (as needed) 3 days a week and she said yes. She had a prn position open so I took it. I will b doing work that I prefer too. I will get out from under some of the stressful tasks that I'm doing now too. The odds and the gods smiled on me this time.

I feel so silly for having suicidal thoughts and getting so stressed out about this. I'm just happy its had a good outcome!! And by the way, did I mention that I'm married to the most wonderful man n the whole wide world. I have such a supportive, loving husband. He is truly a jewel.

I can relate to you, I was so unhappy about my job and my then-bf told me that the money, the time, and my unhappiness wasn't worth being there, I felt so good about leaving and finding something so much better. Things always happen for a reason .

I am having an issue with my work also and understand how you have felt. I is nice to see that things have worked out for you. I have always thought that my work would fire me if they know that I was a stressed out person and asked them for help. I am a person that is afraid to ask for help because the fear of rejection eats me up. I took 3 days off of work and they called to see if I was ok, they said they didn't want me to quit and suggested going to the Employee Assistance Program to talk with someone to help with stress and anxiety. I did and got approved for FMLA and am now in group and individual therapy to help with my work related anxiety, stress, self esteem and panic attacks. It just shows to me that if you ask for help, things do work out to the positive. I also have a wonderfully supportive husband. Yeah for the great men we have.

hey what ever is going on for you right now you must talk to GP or HR or occuptional support person eve your manager seek mental health support - you got talk this pain your holding inside to someone. I dont want to patronize you in any way and say wrong thing but your suicidal idea is exterme no one thing in your life is worth you killing you for so please dont carry out your idea. Somehow rise and see around you and think about the thing that give you hope as you going crazy well right now you may feel that way and you know it shows me that you feel so your alive with feelings convert crazy into hopes wishes and dreams trust someone who you can see eye ball to eye ball and also rest your mind your overloaded

I am a nurse, and the stress of not only dealing with patients and their families but coworkers can put me over the edge. My counselor told me that for me, as I have bipolar disorder, that I could not have picked a worse career as nursing in an extremely dysfunctional environment. So I am enrolled in my master's for nursing education so I can work in an environment with less stress.
The bottom line is this: You need to take care of your emotional well being above all else. A job is not worth your potential to hurt yourself.
