Why Does Work Feel Like a Life Sentence?
I’m almost 38, and honestly, I can’t stand my job anymore. On paper, I’ve got it all—a stable job as a project manager, a house in the suburbs, two kids, and a supportive husband. But inside? I feel like I’m suffocating.
I daydream about quitting and becoming a full-time soccer coach, or just stacking shelves at the local grocery store. Anything but this endless cycle of meetings and emails. The benefits are great, and my family relies on me, so I keep showing up, but I’m just running on autopilot.
Is it just me, or does work sometimes feel like a never-ending treadmill? I’m not looking for a way out, but I just needed to say it out loud: I’m so tired of pretending I love this life. Anyone else ever feel like pressing the reset button? 😩
