Hi
I am in a pickle and not managing. Previously posted about work life balance as have none atm. Young family and all that goes with it. I am clearing the decks as much as poss and ruthlessly saying no to stuff to help myself as mental health is not good atm at all. But, I have a real issue about standing down from one external committee. I have done one year of three. I did mention to the committe head that I was struggling but a family member of theirs is now seriously unwell so I feel that I have to soldier on. But I just can't and I know it is shitty but I am drowning. Just not sure I can keep on as more work not less heading my way in this role. The previous committee head is standing in so someone I could raise with but timing is awful and it feels v selfish. I don't like letting people down, it feels wrong.
What would you do? Just feels like the straw that broke the camel's back.
