Hi social workers,
I'm an asye but I'm 2 years in to my job in children's.
I'm struggling big time. I'm overwhelmed with work load and tasks. I have taken two weeks leave simply because I was sat at my desk crying everyday due to being so burnt out. I have come back and I'm crying again as all my tasks are out of timescales and I have had a telling off today from my manager.
I have explained to my manager that I'm overwhelmed and I don't feel I'm able to carry on because I have no idea what I need to do. Everything feels out of control. I have forgotten what work I have actually done and don't even know where to start.
I have not had supervision for a long long time and despite me booking it in and calling my manager she always says she is unavailable. And to re book.
She rearranged again today and then piled more court work on me due tomorrow on a case I have literally been given while off.
I tried to call her two weeks ago because I had a really scary experience with a parent and it has left me shaken and no one was available for support.
I have a new job but my current management won't left me work my notice until tasks are up to date but I don't know how to get to that point as I'm stuck in the mud with things I just don't know how to do.
I don't want to jepodise my new job by going off sick now.
I have actually contemplated suicide to get out of this because I can't lose my new job as I need the money but I can't do this one anymore. I feel so trapped.
Please help me find a way through this.
Thanks
