What do I do when my job is destroying my health?

Your body is sending the bill, and you are scared because you cannot afford to stop working. That is a real trap, not a weakness. You need the paycheck, and the paycheck is wearing you down. Both things are true at once, and pretending otherwise will not help. But your body is the one thing you truly cannot replace. A job can be changed, even slowly. A broken back or a wrecked heart often cannot. So the fear is pointing at something worth listening to. The question is not whether to care about your health. It is how to protect it without walking off a cliff financially. You may not be able to quit tomorrow. You can start today. Pick one thing that eases the wear, better shoes, a real break, a doctor's visit you keep putting off. And begin quietly looking for work that does not cost you your body, even if it takes a year. You are not trading your health for a paycheck. You are planning your way out of that trade.
