It has been a hard decision to make. I worked there for 7 years and did 4 different jobs.
My support structures were eroded, and I was left with no other option.
I was sick of being ill from the office politics and having to deal with genuinely nasty people.
I am going on state benefits for a short period whilst I set up my own landscaping business.
Massive risk, as I will lose my home if I fail
Stress sux an it’ll make you less able to deal with things. Working for yourself isn’t a bad thing if you can pull it off. I wish you luck and all. I did a lot of menial jobs and it was always stressful due to other people. The work was ok. I do ok with repetitive things but I can feel your pain.
Thanks for your comments @rogueone
The stress was too much for me to handle, and after my failed suicide attempt on Tuesday, I have a new perspective and I don’t want to feel that way again
I was good at my old job, but I was also good at landscaping.
We’ll see what happens.
I will keep everyone on the board posted, and share some pictures when I build things
Got to take care of yourself @Joker.
Most likely it was the smart thing to do.
Good luck with everything.
I hope everything works out for you. 
Thanks everyone!
I don’t have to work my 3 month notice which I am pleased about as I needed a clean break
You’ve inspired me @Joker, I told my mother I don’t want to farm anymore and she understood. I’m thinking of selling all my cows next year
I wish you luck in what ever journey you choose to take @anon47167357
I hope it works out for you. Usually, it’s better to line up the new job before quitting the current one. Have you been applying?
I am applying for disability and starting a landscaping business
Oh, good luck. 
Do you have a disability lawyer?
I have the support of the local crisis team and community mental health team to advocate for me
That’s good. I really hope it all goes well.
