My job is sucking the life out of me.

I am so stressed out with my job lately. I work as a social work case manager in a hospital and I can't take it anymore. The people / issues I deal with stress me out and im overworked. I'm getting reeeeallly burnt out and having issues with anxiety. The past two nights I've been getting home one to two hours late, missing dinner time with G, and of course I don't get paid overtime. I know the grass is always greener, but I can't wait to sell our house so I can stay home with G. I miss him. And not that I don't think SAH is hard, but I think it's different and I'm not cut out for this social work stuff.

Vent over. Carry on.

    I'm sorry. When you hit the wall, you've hit the wall. I hope you sell your house and see the end in sight soon.
    July 20th, 2012: Never forget the day the fb douchebags tried so hard, but ultimately failed. Viva la October 2011! Yeah, I called you douchebags.

    I just had lunch with a friend who is a social worker and ahes burned out too. It is a seriously hard field of work! Have you looked into getting a different job? I work in a very specific grant program and my job is constantly in jeapordy, we work long hours and my commute is over an hour each way. I've been looking for an escape plan. I'm tired of missing out on time with DS especially for a job I don't like. Good luck!
