Yes it is what I wanted. My body and mind need a change of pace. My behaviour has changed dramatically feeling 100% times happier, gaining freedom to walk about town during the day, having other opportunities present themselves as they appear. I do lack direction so I'm taking a break to think about what I want to do. Perhaps help people?!?! that or win the lotto.

Odd - yes, stupid - no.

With any own business you have to work your butt off like you never did in your previous job. I read your stuff pretty regularly for years. I can't remember anything I could imagine to become a business idea. That is probably not what you would like to hear, but I think that it is better to see things realistically. There is no free lunch in this world.

I'm scared about losing my home. I don't have family or friends around to help me so I could be looking at being homeless unless I get benefits from the state.

Sometimes a ****ty job is better than being penniless and homeless. Idk in your case, only you do.

I do, however, think you may have been better served by creating a, "I hate my job, should I quit?" thread.

Your situation kinda reminds of that (semi) famous quote by limon:

I love all of the posts that say disregard everthing I did before I got check raised all in on the river and just tell me what to do now. Its like, “hey Dad its me billy and im in jail. Don’t ask me why I got drunk (standard). Don’t ask me why I drove (yawn). Don’t ask me how my car ended up in a 7-11 (meh). Just tell me how to keep from getting buttfuqqed tonight.

I used to use Autocad but switched to Archicad. Imo, it blows acad away but everyone is too entrenched with autocad in the US. I had heard Archicad was the dominate program in Europe, perhaps thats not the case

best of luck in your future and thx for your reply

Leo,

I was about to do something really stupid that I can't talk about on here which is why I left my place of work. My mental health was in bad shape. Now with my own free time I feel great again.

Tough one...

Do you really have no idea what you want to do? If so this q really needs to be considered before you quit. Do you want to stay in the design field or not?

Just read one of his two blogs that haven't been deleted for all the background you need. The cryptic comments about what he can't discuss refer to the deleted blog of suicidal ideation and planning, and posts in the psychology forum in which he suggests that suicide was a option people shouldn't overlook.

His theory was that his misery stemmed from how much he hated his job and the need to spend most of his time doing something he doesn't like in order to earn money to support himself: If only he didn't need to work, he could be happy. He quit his job. Now he's happy. Now you're all up to speed.

No I don't want to be in the design field. I want to help people. I want to heal. I am healing myself and others in my life through my actions and speech. Ideally I wish to create a sanctuary for people to escape the madness of western culture, dogma and hypnotic mind set.

I fight the battle between going to work and being homeless almost everyday. My job is easy and not the least bit stressful, but I ****ing hate it so much.

Agree with life being not a big deal. I do like laying and bed and smoking drugs and watching sports/movies, and I know I can't do that if I don't go to work.

Seems that if you want to continue to do the things that you have been enjoying since you left work, you must return to work.

Unless you have an abusive work atmosphere or something, work is generally not that big of a deal. Don't make excuses, find something that is tolerable and do it.

Lol "my body doesn't work on a 24 hour cycle and it is hell to be awake 9 to 5". Unless you have a physical ailment, you need a reality check.
