I've been working in higher ed for close to 15 years and thinking of making a career change to something I love versus becoming "institutionalized" in my profession by staying. I used to love my job but am now frequently overwhelmed, can't sleep, and am having panic attacks. For better or worse, I've been open about it my co-workers because I'm at a breaking point. Surprisingly, many of them feel the same way and some are having nightmares due to the pressure. I've tried changing my perspective and staying positive. It's difficult because I don't want to be stuck anymore and my wife can see I'm miserable. I don't want to come home to my wife tired, drained, and unable to give her my best. Thank God my wife is my rock and believes in me. She thinks I should quit my job and take a UX/coding bootcamp for 10 weeks and go into business with her (She's a Creative Director). Has anyone every been in this position and what did you do?
I am taking baby steps and am planning an exit strategy. I'm researching other careers, am planning on hiring a career coach, and plan on seeing a therapist. I'm hoping that will give me some clear direction in terms of a career plan. Right now I feel completely lost and am just shotgunning resumes everywhere. Thanks for hearing me out.
