Ten years ive been working in mental health and the social care sector. Im thinking of calling it quits. Im potentially heading for burn out for a second time. I enjoy the money but that's it. I dont need the money. I do want to work. I hate the stress, the no control, the hopelessness, i get limited job satisfaction and feel the whole social care and child protection system is about to crumble. Its getting dangerous. Too many people under too much pressure putting people at risk. Im not doing a good job. Im not able to do my best for people. I cant unsee or unhear any of it and the tower of shit i carry around just keeps building. Im scared to make the move but my gut tells me i must get out of it and shut the door behind me. I must move on. I know people do this all the time but I'm wanting reassurance and experience!
