Hello! I’m 29F and 20 days palang akong nakapag tirz and yung sleep ko palaging 3-5hrs lang then mag sleep nalang ulit ako nang another 2-3hrs before my work kasi pang gabi work ko.

I lost 10lbs already and may mild headaches lang minsan pero wala naman ibang side effects. Etong sleep ko lang talaga yung malaking change. Before taking tirz, kaya kong mag 8-9hrs of sleep na tuloy tuloy. I tried taking gummies melatonin 5mg para longer sana pero walang effect.

Sample sleep cycle:
1st sleep cycle: 9am-1pm (4 hrs)
2nd sleep cycle: 6pm-9pm (3 hrs)

10pm - Start of work (night shift/work from home)

May naka experience po ba dito na hirap makakuha nang mahabang sleep? Ano po ginawa nyo and may vitamins or other meds po ba kayong tinake? TYIA <3

I’m 28 and I’m thinking of resigning from my client whom I’ve been with for almost 5 years. She’s my first client and full-time ako sa kanya. I have savings and wala rin naman akong pets/kids, nakatira ako sa family house, frugal living din so technically I can survive kahit mag-resign ako. My plan is to resign this June, take a 1-month break, then start applying by July.

I work as a VA/project coordinator for her, and I think one of the main reasons kung bakit ko gusto umalis is I feel like na-outgrow ko na yung role. Wala na akong new learnings, wala nang growth, parang naka-autopilot na lang ako. I’m her only VA in the company, and wala rin talagang clear career ladder, so parang hanggang dito na lang talaga yung role ko.

Another issue is yung pay ko. Medyo mababa na siya compared sa current market. When I started browsing for jobs, nagulat ako kasi halos twice na pala yung rate for similar roles ngayon. Fault ko din naman kasi hindi ako nag-ask ng raise during my first few years with her. Nung 3rd year ko lang siya nakausap about it. Also, I have friends na nag-shift na sa VA work, so medyo nakakagulat and honestly nakaka-sad na super lapet lang nung current pay ko sa rates nila as a new VA.

Good thing about my current client is may 12 paid leaves ako per calendar year, paid and no work din lahat ng PH holidays, and she gives a 13th month pay kahit hindi naman required. Yung personality nya, super bait and I can say we’ve become friends din talaga. Ramdam ko na she really values and respects me. Hindi rin siya nag mi-micromanage sa work ko, she gives me freedom to do my own work style and may authority na din ako sa company.

Siguro kaya lang ako nagdadalawang-isip is natatakot ako sa new environment, new expectations, and new role. Although alam ko naman na nandun talaga yung growth, pero yung uncertainty. Kung magiging okay ba ako sa ibang client or not and that’s what scares me the most.

Kayo ba, what are your thoughts and advice on my situation?
