I did actually quit my job once, since I was feeling burned out and stressed.
But not before spending months in dalogue with my manager where we tried to work together to find a work-balance that I could thrive in. But in the end, it felt too much, and I wanted to try out a new line of work to see if that was more appropriate for me.

I left the company on good terms, and about a year later, I realised that I missed my old job, so I applied for it back and got re-hired. And while I still do struggle, we're working it out.

I guess my point is, if you're able to, I think it's worth it to put in some effort to adapt the work tasks and environment to something that works for everyone, and leaving on good terms can be very important.
I don't regret leaving, because *trying* something else helped me figure stuff out, but I'm happy I could come back.

I'm lucky enough and young enough to where I haven't needed a job yet, but I can see some value in not getting on your boss's bad side, though that may be my people pleaser talking. Loved the editing! Keep up the great work!

Okay but hold up, the assets and edits you made to match and flow with the game were AWESOME! I'm always so impressed by your skills, I shouldn't be surprised though of course.


So this topic is also quite relevant to me. I have my aspirations to further my art career, but I've been stuck in the rat race for quite a few years now. Frankly though, if I'm being honest, I probably stuck myself in the rat race to at least a certain degree because of my mental health struggles and absolutely No confidence in myself (and outside factors like relationship issues and such too). But I learned a Lot from this time, including valuing the security that a more typical job offers and being able to level up my socializing skills (that one has been a big challenge for me). I worked hard to get myself better and better jobs so I can make a living and pay my bills, and I'm grateful I put in that effort because I have a very decent job right now that allows me the space to begin creating again. I'm slowly making things work for me so that I Can invest into my art (into Myself) again, I'm proud of the progress I've made.

Until recently I had barely drawn much in a year and now I'm over halfway through one of the "Drawtober" challenges because I really want to accomplish an art challenge and get myself back into it! This stuff takes time, and when you have ADHD boy howdy it's annoying, but I see the changes I've made successfully over time and I am so excited for my future.

This is a mood. My job is way too many hours, for not enough money, and way too much travel.
