This startup I work at, itโ€™s doing very good work, mission based but from last few months itโ€™s affecting me, my health, my personal time with family and friends. I love the startup ecosystem, the workload, but it has become extremely inconsistent now and Iโ€™ve been struggling on my physical and mental health front from past few weeks. I talked to my seniors/managers here about resignation and my health, they said Iโ€™m important, Iโ€™m family and gave me a paid month off. I manage few other unavoidable things with office and everyone at office knows this. I anyways came back after 2 weeks. While the way work was divided between team members is a lot organized now, nothing else has changed. I kept asking for some documents to start working on few bugs, but I wasnโ€™t doing anything important for 3 days, then at weekend a huge chunk of work came. I had to cancel out dinner with parents, had to cancel my Sunday personal time plans and exercises. I donโ€™t enjoy my work anymore, it seems like huge stress. I lost peaceful sleep, occasionally delay my lunch, dinner and family-friends time has become negligible. The communication gaps between teams, the inconsistent workload, bit of toxicity to complete the work(even when weโ€™re being dependent on others), etc. has made me emotionally, physically and mentally weak, but I care about the the mission here and so Iโ€™m confused, should I resign, take a break, rethink life and then start again or should I just keep working while ignoring all these issues?

I think so, yes. Plus the upcoming 2 months are very crucial as Iโ€™ve series of exams, a very very important family thing where 7-8 I just wanna be with my parents.
Iโ€™m thinking of doing the same, taking 2 months break, but donโ€™t wanna come back here and feel useless. Plus there are other missions that need my attention and possibly I can have a good nightโ€™s sleep.
Thanks!

Agreed. Iโ€™m thinking of finally sending my resignation it in a day or two. Just need a final, firm decision and some courage.
