Can you elaborate on how to not let a job affect you in this way?

Do you think stress is equally caused by external factors (boss, job) or internal factors (personality, etc.)? I would be afraid of quitting a great job over stress only to find out the problem was inside me the entire time.

Leave your LinkedIn as "looking for work", a email every day or two from someone who wants to hire you reminds you that you have other options and even if all this went sideways you'd land on your feet.

In this market if your company burnt to the ground you'd likely end up with a short vacation and a raise.

First half of 2000 I was getting calls from recruiters non stop. Multiple per day. I had just started out but had in demand skills.

One day the calls just stopped. They didn’t start again for 3 years.

The whole dot com crash was quite humbling.

That of course happens but that isn't happening today, no reason to run yourself ragged in the current climate. Another stress tip I have is to live well within your means. I just refinanced my mortgage and I'm down to about $900 a month, taxes and insurance included. The local Walmart is offering $17.75 an hour so I'm in a position that so long as I have a job, any job, that's paying the local prevailing wage I can support my family.
