Just let it needs to go, and things will work out. Have faith in your decision. Believe me, I am not the most religious person, but everything happens for a reason.

If your boss can't give you that leway than maybe you need to get done. Does he know your issues?

Hi sorry to hear your struggling but had to reply as sounds like me a few years ago x I ran a Dom care agency for the elderly and disabled for 13 years so I know the stress this kind of work can involve and it's a 24/7 365 day job xx however I got so ill and didn't know why I ended up blaming the job and resenting it, it's wasn't until the company closed that I really got ill because I stopped and everything kicked in x I ended up out of work for two years sick and it wasn't till I got diagnosis things got better and I wouldn't go back for all the tea in China x what I'm trying to say is your job isn't helping and I know you love it, but it will make you ill, can you look into cutting your time down so you get one day in the week to rest xxx just a thought xxx

Signs are there for a reason. It is all telling you something. It will all help you decide what to do. I think this is really a huge sign.

In my job, Hairstylist, it was so much easier to cut down on my hours. I also worked for myself. But this was something I dream about since I was small. I did this job for over 15 years. But this is not a 9 to 5 job. There were nights I would work until 10 at night just to fit in clients.
