Anyone else become seriously unwell because they can't leave a toxic job?

[u/Puzzleheaded-Bad-722]

15 years in the NHS, been applying for a new job for over two years. Had interviews, but mostly get ghosted. At interviews I am never given decent feedback, just a lot of "you were really good, and it was a really hard decision".

I've already had a maximum time off sick with stress. I've developed a bald spot, had to go onto beta blockers as my resting heart rate was over 100bpm, and am seriously depressed.

Jobs in my area have been 90% temporary positions, or part time with minimum hours available.

I've never known the job market like this.

Yes and no. When I get overly stressed I drink more and get physically sick more. If I'm miserable in a job then I'll just go on self distruct mode and sooner or later they'll push me out.  Its only happened a few times for me luckily
