I think this is more akin to anxiety here. If your job is adding to your anxiety, or your friends, or your habits, or what have you… yes, remove the stressors from your life wherever reasonable (no throwing your baby in the trash!!!).

Sometimes life is just stressful, responsibilities pile up, and you can’t make them disappear. In that case ignoring or abandoning your responsibilities is guaranteed to give you more stress later on. You can abandon your responsibilities, they won’t abandon you (relationships aside >_>).

I’d say I agree that you need to “eliminate it” though. Eliminate it through direct and deliberate confrontation, which in the case of your job would be finding a better job.
