A long time ago I was a workaholic and liked to be the guy who worked harder than everyone else. I made the mistake of getting emotionally involved with what I did for a living. Projects would stress me out. What saved me was finding another outlet for my workaholism. For me, it was Toastmasters. For you, it may be something different. Finding something outside of my day job that I could pour my energy and optimism into and at the same time, push myself out of my comfort zone, was key.

If you quit, it is not going to magically fix all your problems. The time to start addressing the issues in your life (everyone has issues) is today - not tomorrow or yesterday.

Please try to start balancing out your life (the cliche 'balance your life' is true - think of it more like a tightrope where you can fall off, rather than a seesaw). If you're going to quit, ask for a 1-month sabbatical (they might give you one).

Good luck!

Working on the balance thing and addressing the core issues, will try and focus on it more. You are right, quitting will not solve all of my problems, just one (that probably seems worse due to other things). Probably will stick with it for a bit longer. Thankee

Agreed with parent comment. I'm a big fan of quitting, but make sure you address the issues in your life first. I was also a workaholic and was able to get out of it.

Even when I hated my job I could still sleep at night.
