25M here, I was planning to move in the Netherlands with my ex gf last April only to move myself after a harsh break up.

So I’ve been into this job for a year, managed to be very good at it and earn a decent salary to support my life but I really really hate the life here. I’ve been lucky to be able to visit my home country Greece almost every 2-3 months for 2 weeks each time to visit some clients and see family and friends but I don’t think that this think helps at all.. Every time I go back I feel like I’m heavily depressed and just want to get locked into my apartment and not go out.

Only thing helping so far is the gym which plays a big role into my mental health.

Also I do have a great boss who is very supportive and that’s what even makes it worse that I would have terrible guilt to leave the company but in the end I can’t keep on suffering like that.

One of these days I’m back into my home country in Greece and I have secretly scheduled an interview for a role which has great potential and have been looking for years and even though the salary is like 1/3rd of my Dutch one, I wouldn’t even hesitate to resign and start working there.

My current job is good and I’m considered as very good but it’s definitely something in which I don’t see any future and not my dream career.

The thing is that right now, I had some great time with my friends and tomorrow is another day at work and I don’t even wanna speak to my boss, I’m feeling so shit and the fact that I will go back in 1.5 weeks makes me so depressed.

I’m planning to do the interview on Tuesday and probably I believe that I will have good news as it’s the last interview and they are very interested and start working they in early May.

Definitely not my cup of tea but need to get back and explain to my boss that I need to leave because I can’t do this anymore. Problem is that it’s a small company and the main heads are me and him so I understand that he will lose a crucial employee but I really can’t take this life anymore.

Not asking for any advise, just stating out the facts so I can feel a small relief.

Stay strong
