Ship wreck

I am currently 28 and have been working full time for 8 years. I have been starting to hate going to work so much that I think of having to go back to work, right when the holiday/weekend starts. I can’t really pinpoint a reason to why I hate my work or working in general.

It’s been affecting me mentally so much that I break down and cry every other week or so. Not sure if anyone else feels this way, or is there something wrong with me?

I don’t know if i hate the job that i’m in, or just the fact that I have to go to work. I can’t afford to quit as I have a wedding and a house coming next year.

Bro relak don't you know Grabfood riders are in high demand? No stress, flexible schedule, no boss to report to and you take home whatever you make - no need to contribute to the bottomless CPF pit!

The longer you age the less you care. Work or not. It's not important anymore.

I had no choice but to start working early. Had bills to pay and I didn’t even have a roof over my head.

Do u find joy or satisfaction in your job at least?

Even if I complete a project/task, I feel no sense of accomplishment. I don’t feel anything. No joy nothing. I just know I dread waking up to go to work every single day. Yes, I know that I should be glad to even have a job during this pandemic. But I can’t help but to feel this way. I can’t help myself. Damn, I can’t believe I have to work for another 50 years of my life. I don’t know how all of you do it.

Are all of you really working in jobs that you find joy in? Or are we all just robots who work for the sake of working, with no joy at all? Am I the weird one?

How we do it ah.
By making friends at work lo.
So come office to breakfast relax until 945 am. Do some email work.
Then go lunch
Socialise with colleague talk about life.
Then come back office is really just 4 hours left of me time.
Before going home to sayang wife and play with kids..

The other way of seeing it is. You imagine your life as a hawker stall or Mcdonald. Or a cleaning lady.
Then you realised you're actually quite lucky to have an office job.

As for the joy ah. Think of it as company is paying you for your time.
So you just come to office lo. Then clock out when office hours end lo

It's normal la.
Can you imagine doctor in hospital see patient non stop everyday including public holiday. If got emergency also must rush back hospital.
Or imagine dentist good job etc. But everyday see people's teeth non stop back to back appointment.
Or hairdresser everyday stand there cutting peoples hair non stop...
Or the chef everyday cook the same dish for the customer over and over again. And the customer so happy the food so nice but you're so bored or cooking the same dish with the same ingredients over and over a again.

These are signs of burnout. You're probably experiencing burnout at work where u have just lost motivation/passion in whatever you're doing. It's not uncommon in big4. This is not going to do you any good mentally in long term. I'd suggest that you change the work environment, for eg changing job like going to commercial instead of staying in big4 if the stress factor does come from the environment u're in right now? Or take a break like a few months? pretty sure the firm will be supportive with that - speak to your counsellor about it. Another suggestion is that you might want to seek help from the professional, like going for counselling or therapy. Mental health is just as important as physical health and your wellbeing must be taken care of properly. nothing is more important than your own health. You cant possibly living and crying like that, you will soon or later break down (you probably already had) and be done with. I hope you're well

Spend $1000 go see private psychologist 2-3 times.

Serious. You need clinical help.
