Feeling so burnt out
First time posting here. I’ve been a hospital social worker for almost three years; it’s my first social work job since I graduated. For the past six months, I have dreaded going to work and it’s been seriously effecting my mental health - I cry on the way to work, have extreme “Sunday scaries”, and have recently having nightmares about work. The thing that gets me though is I can’t pinpoint exactly why I’m feeling this way, and why it started seemingly out of no where. Has anyone else felt this way, and if so, is there anything you did to help the situation?
