YES. My husband and I met at work, but then a new GM came in with big fear tactics because she sued her way up in the company amd didn't really know how to lead a business. I digress.

We found new jobs. I got lucky, because of connections I made, I got...basically my dream job. Same area of work but literally changing and improving lives.

My husband on the other hand, same premise but different story. He got sold on the idea of a job. Same line of work but he 'specialized in one brand of product' instead of knowing all different ones. He described his first day as a PTSD trigger. Think 'thrown to the wolves' but instead of wolves alone you're also surrounded by bears and any other big powerful creature.

To put it into perspective, he was supposed to be a new hire for a team of 3. Himself being the 3rd man, one other new hire and a year experienced one. Day two, experienced man quits. New guy comes in. His second day, he quits. Now, my husband is the sole person doing 3 men's worth of labor, phone calls, inventory tracking, driving, repairs, all of it.

He experienced the worst stress amd depression of his life. It affected everything from his mental state to even his ability in bed. He stayed up later just staring at the TV. He stopped his hobbies because they brought no joy. The stress consumed him.

So yes, if you see the 'writing in the wall' as my husband puts it, RUN. If you have to take a moment as a break between jobs and are financially able, do it. Now I'm in the position for manager training, finding good workers is tough right now. There are jobs out there.

Focus on you. You cannot fill from an empty cup. If you have nothing left to give of yourself then focus on self care. It is the most important.
