I have worked for my current company for about 2 years. I started as 1 of 2 media/graphic design/tech writers in the company and have since developed a team of people to help me out (we're a medium sized telecom company so we're still finding needs to fill and we have to fill them quickly). I started a separate team as well to conduct quality control on our production. I now supervise/manage both teams as well as managing all my existing projects and my to do list just keeps getting longer. I find that every day I come home exhausted and drained even if it is a normal work day(8 hours). I've looked around on various sites at similar positions and I'm starting to realize I'm underpaid and I have far more responsibility than I should have. I also feel like my boss doesn't provide apt direction or if he does he's just telling me what I want to hear so I keep working. Don't take this the wrong way I work hard and I want to make improvements to the company and to myself but I'm starting to lose my motivation. I think it's great that this company has given me so many opportunities to learn new skills and to build teams but, I don't think I can sustain myself while holding this job. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Agree. Your health comes first. Make sure you have enough savings, get ready and start interviewing with other companies. You only live once.

Avoid teams with only Chinese or Indians especially with a Chinese/Indian manager
I’ve been in your position many times. Take a vacation. Make sure you’re taking care of yourself (diet, exercise, sleep, intimacy.) Remember that you are employable elsewhere. If it gets too much to handle — quit. But would be safer to start interviewing before you’ve lost your income stream. Godspeed ✌️
