Is it normal to think about quitting your job?

Yep.Totally normal

Yes, it’s normal to think about quitting your job, even if you don’t actually want to leave. It can be a passing reaction to a rough day or a sign that something at work needs to change.

Lots of people imagine handing in their notice when work is stressful, boring, exhausting, or just not a good fit. Thinking about quitting doesn’t mean you’re ungrateful or that you have to make a decision right away.

If the thought keeps coming back, it may help to figure out what you want to get away from—and whether a conversation, a change in responsibilities, or a job search could address it. You’re allowed to think about your options before you decide what to do.
