Have you ever quit a job because of stress?

I quit my last job after 13 years,

I quit without another job lined up. I did put in my 2-weeks' notice and continued to do my job until the last day.

But I hated the job for the last 5 years. I hated it so much that I would stress myself into getting ulcers.

I stayed because of the money.

Then one day, I had enough, and quit.

Now I'm in a job I look forward to coming to each day. I make less but it doesn't matter. I'm happy.

What do you all think about this? Any related experience?
 
I quit my last job because of stress too. It was a mix of stress from the conditions I worked in and dealing with some people who didn't respect me. I even went to my supervisor about one of the people, but he basically said suck it up since the guy was retiring soon. I was there for five years and even took a pay cut when I got my current job but I love this job way more and it was worth it!
