I've been dealing with work related stress and anxiety for about 2.5 years. It has progressively gotten worse for me, and finally came to a head this week. There were several attempts at adjusting my schedule, making small changes to my day to day, etc... But nothing was able to take away the extreme anxiety and stress that I felt every single day.
  
So, I finally made the call to simply resign. I need to take time for myself to recover and get back to some sort of normal. Luckily, I have the savings to support a decision like this for a while, but my goal is to get back into the work force as soon as I'm ready. Hopefully, a month or two of therapy, relaxation, and self-reflection will help me.
  
I wish I had done this sooner.
