I am a in a caregiver position, and have been for a number of years now. I am pretty sure I am burned out. I recently got transferred to a new location, at my request, but when I got to the new place, I realized that it wasn’t just the place I had been working at that had been the issue, but I’m pretty sure I am burned out, and from what I observed of the duties at my new position, I think my burnout will only get worse, and I am tired of always dreading going to work. Problem is I can’t find another job that will pay enough and doesn’t involve much physical labor, because I have a bad back, and really don’t want to make it worse, so I have to be careful about what job I take.
I am beyond frustrated and I feel like I’m just out of compassion at this point. I feel like an asshole, but I feel as though the right thing to do is to find a new job as fast as I can, because right now I’m working around 9 days in a row, and me and my wife hardly ever see each other for more than maybe two hours a day, and we hardly get to spend any time together, and if I continue with this job indeed it’ll only get worse and as it is I hardly have anytime to decompress from work.
Sorry o had to vent a bit.
TLDR:I am just in a bit of panic mode because I feel bad for wanting to quit, because I just got the transfer, but I came to the realization that I can’t do this job anymore., but I need to find a job before I quit and I am having a tough time doing that
