If you work for NHS do you ever feel like giving up?

I work for NHS and have always felt its a rewarding job, supporting people in crisis, making a difference.
However last 18mths I feel like giving up. I have no resources to help. No staff. Massive workload. Feel im constantly letting patients down and surrounded by poor care (due to lack of resources, not the wonderful staff).
Feel like getting out but then feel so sad giving up.
Also no idea what else I can do?

Does anyone else feel like this ?

I did. Medically retired 5 years ago from nursing as the job contributed literally to driving me mad. Too much death, no clinical supervision. I worked closely with long-term conditions patients in the community, inevitably they’d die after I’d known them for a few years. No support after patients died, just more referrals. Nobody asking you if you were coping.
