Does It make you sick to go to work

I am about ready to go to work and my stomach hurts. Does a lot of people feel like that? I keep going there for the insurance and the pay is not that bad. Why do others keep going to jobs that they just hate?

I used to feel that way about my job. Every Sunday night I would get an upset stomach and just want to curl up and cry. Sometimes I did. The workweek was ahead and I was miserable and stressed in my job, so the end of the weekend filled me with sadness. I kept going because I needed the paycheck to pay for rent and food. But I tried to turn all that anxiety and stress into positive energy and spend every moment I could looking for a new job that would get me out of there. Eventually I did find new work. I still get the Sunday blahs or experience the occasional anxiety when something major is going on at work. I'd rather be home than at my job, but I don't dislike it so much that the thought of going causes me physical and mental stress.

I am glad you found a new job. I have had some interviews, but I was not picked for anything. I do keep looking and hoping I will get into something I enjoy and that it pays the bills.
