My job is ruining my life and I can't take another day. What to do?

I work in a call center going on 2 years. I'm just miserable and upset these days and I can't just sit there anymore answering calls. It's made me lazy, inactive, complacent, and no mental or emotional stimulation. No learned skills and I'm 24.

I just can't give my 2 weeks notice idk is why I've tried but I'm just a wimp and scared, but I probably can't even muster up courage to quit even if I get a new job.

My confidence is at an all time low . I have money saved up an am looking to work hard and start a business. I feel trapped. What to Do? I don't even wanna go to work tomorrow.

    I'm pretty sure a lot of people feel the same way you do and feel trapped at their jobs.

    But you HAVE to continue go to work in order to continue getting income to eat and pay the bills.

    If you don't enjoy working at a call center any longer, then that is perfectly fine. No one is technically "forcing you" to work at a call center.

    There are plenty of other job positions out there that would better suit you and your needs. But you need to take ACTION and start LOOKlNG FOR ANOTHER JOB instead of crying about it on here. I don't mean to be tough on you cuz l know it's hard trust me.

    But you are a GROWN ADULT. And you need to start taking some responsibility and control over your life. No one else is able to do it but YOU. No one else is gonna help take care of you but YOU.

    Even if you don't feel like, START LOOKING FOR OTHER JOBS ANYWAY.

    Those are the only 2 options you really have, sweetheart. I wish you all the best of luck in finding a better job really really soon that'll bring you happiness. Best wishes! Xoxo

    If it's really as bad as you say, then maybe you should quit....

    You don't want to spend a good amount of your life being in a job that you don't like.

    Keep working at your old job, but search for a new career at the same time.

    As bad as the job is, you still feel like you have a safety net having this job.

    Once you start actively searching for a new job, you'll start to feel back in control. Temp agencies can often get you placed fairly quickly. One advantage of temping is you can experience a wide variety of jobs in a few months.

    Get moving and you'll have a better job soon.
