I have walked away from the workplace. I was in no shape to work.

I worked full time and part time and weekend hours for a decade to build a career. I worked long hours, worked myself to the ground. <br><br>I was in no shape to work. I had mental health issues and substance abuse problems, I lost my home and family and worked full time. I was so tired, so I took on another job. The stress got worse, I was working full time and part time with no life. No friends, no family, no home. <br><br>I Now live in a small studio apartment. I worked full time, then I managed 2 part time jobs as well. I was burned out, exhausted and miserable. My physical and mental health were in ruins. I have liver disease. <br><br>I have walked away from it all. I am better off, I feel happier and more relaxed. I have a small home. I see friends, I am slowly repairing my life. I regret working myself into the ground for the sake of money. I wish I had done things differently. But I am happy now.
