Should I quit
I think I hate my job
I got a government job as an intern through my local college in November, and ever since then I've become a depressed insomniac.
This job pays well for where I live. When I first got this job, my parents were very proud and told me how jealous everyone is (I hate that response) because it's so hard to get "in". I'm always told "you can retire here", and I feel quite literally sick when I hear that.
I only work 2/3 days a week, yet I am bored 80% of the time. I sit all day at a computer. No one I work with is my age. 809
It may be my own negativity, but I swear my boss treats me as if I'm incompetent. I use to work 4/5 even 6 days weeks at all my previous jobs - they were all more physically/mentally demanding too. Something about this job literally keeps me up at night.
I'll go to sleep by 10, and I will be up every two hours until it's 7am and I have to get ready for work. It's exhausting, to say the least. I'm taking sleep studies with my doctors, but I think the underlying issue is that I'm not happy as an accountant intern.
I'm only 24 but I feel so anxious to leave a job I've barely been at for a year.
Does anyone have any advice? I think I already know what I need to do, but sometimes having a stranger's opinion helps put things further into clarity. 809
