Should I quit my job or though it out?

I’ve been at my job for almost 4 years now. I work in commercial insurance and it is so high stress lately. It is completely different from what I hired into. I loved it at first , and some days I still like it. But 99% of the time I’m stressed to tears..my office is on its 3rd director in 4 years and I’m on my 5th supervisor in 4 years, people quit or moved up. There was a point where I got really behind on “paper processing tasks” and I’m still trying to recover from it, I had to request to be moved off accounts a couple years ago because the executive I was working with was causing me to have panic attacks, they got so bad I actually ended up in a deep depression for months and would have random attacks ,I ended up in the hospital thinking I was having a heart attack at 25 years old because of an episode . Now I had other things going on in life too, we’ve been trying to conceive for 3 years with 1 miscarriage and no luck since. So that’s a stressor as well. I moved past all that and got a new set of accounts to work on , things were fine until covid hit...they let go a few people and then one after another we had 4 team members quit, I ended up with extra work and a lot of issues to resolve. This past year has been the hardest of my life and I feel like I have no time to even process it because I feel like this job is eating my soul. We are going through fertility testing right now and I feel like I don’t even care because I’m so numb due to stress. I’m thinking about quitting and taking some time to myself but I’m afraid to do that ..I’m afraid it will be a bad idea. My husband has a pretty good job, and most of the time we could probably make it work financially, I’m just da seed to put all that pressure on him even tho he would gladly do it. I am a photographer as well so I’m thinking about putting a focus on that and trying to grow..I just don’t know if it’s worth leaving a good “big girl” job and letting go of stable income. Thoughts?

Work on finding a new job. Once you get a new job, quit this awful job.

Mental health is more important than that shitty job.

She literally said they’d likely be ok. I’m sure she’d do her budget to see if they can really afford it before she quits if she does. Like shit the stress from that job has landed her in the hospital. It’s not healthy to be that stressed for so long.

Yes you should and make sure u have good connections before u leave. Are u close to any supervisors who can write you letter of recommendations once u give 2 weeks notice. Have you looked to see if there are other companies hiring in your field. If i were u... if u have any vacation/pto/sick time Id start taking that. If u get approved for 2 weeks off then give them 4 weeks notice youre leaving. During that time of vacation u can look up other opportunities

I would quit. Going into a job everyday that makes you miserable 😖 isn’t work your mental health. Been there done that. Sounds like it has a high turn over rate...that should say something. You can always get a better job.
