Hey y’all,
I’m a proud substance use counselor, and I’ve been working in male detox for a little over a year now. Lately, I’ve been feeling completely overwhelmed and burnt out.
Our unit is supposed to have three counselors, but right now, it’s just me and one other. I’ve been asking for additional help for months but unfortunately, nothing seems to be changing.
The hardest part is that I genuinely love what I do. I’m also in recovery myself, so I understand my clients on a deeply personal level. I care about them, their stories, and their recovery, and I want to continue giving them the support they deserve.
But I’m struggling, and I’m starting to realize that loving my job doesn’t mean I’m immune to burnout.
What would you do in my situation? How do you advocate for yourself without feeling like you’re letting your clients or your team down?

Could someone PLEEEASE tell me why Walgreens Pharmacy Drive-thru is ALWAAAAAAAYS so slow? It's always been like this and it's so annoying! I've sat in line for no less than 20 minutes when there are only 2 cars ahead of me. Do better!

What Union does this goofball work for? Please lemme know.
