After almost four long years working in the graphic design and web development industry I'm becoming very disenchanted with my career. I think the stress is beginning to take its toll on me. I'm finding it harder and harder to drag myself in to the office day after day when all I want to do is run. I'm finding dealing with clients is becoming increasingly more difficult.
Recently I was diagnosed with migraines and put on medication which I take daily. While they couldn't pinpoint the exact cause of my migraines I have a sneaking suspicion that they're related to the stress I feel from my job.
I made the decision to close the office this week in an effort to sort myself out and hopefully refocus my passion for graphic design so I can love my job again. I know this is a common problem and I'm sure many of you feel or have felt this way in your careers.
I would appreciate any advice on how you overcame these feelings and found a renewed passion for what you do. My significant other isn't much help as he worked in the graphic design industry for 10 years and then got out. When I bring up my feelings about the job he often says "why do you think I got out of it?" which isn't very helpful.
