For the first time in two years, I’ve fallen seriously ill due to stress from my new job in less than two weeks. I have a business that’s paying my bills but I decided to try 9-5 for experience, but mostly for societal validation. People treat me with so much respect when they find out the company I work for but I’m losing my mind. I spend half my salary on transportation due to distance. I’m lucky if I get 5 hours of sleep and I don’t have time for anything else. They say I’ll get used to it but I don’t see that happening. I’m not physically strong and my strengths lie in my creativity skills but people don’t take my business seriously. I hear side talks that I’m doing other things to get money and fronting my business for cover up. Even my boyfriend thinks I just want a soft life. I’m just so sad and confused💔
