Phycological health. Can be the most important aspect of existence. Worry, grief or fear can have a detrimental effect on your professional and domestic life. We can categorize the many reasons that can create this negative type of demeanor. Including, self destruction with drugs or alcohol. I myself personally suffered a wave of problems including the sudden loss at the time of my significant other to COVID 19. My work, family, and friendships were all negatively effected. Inevitably giving to violence that took persistense and had me on the door step of prison .. In full defeat. I turned to the spiritual help of our Lord God. Involving this with my family and close friends. I came back from the darkness. Seceeding in the most amazing miracles of my life.

I took a role expecting to be in upper leadership with only hands on tasks when staffing was down or higher level skilled needs occured. This role becomes more bedside care focused every day. Nothing against bedside care, but I'd moved onward and upward years ago from bedside. I make good money here, This however feels like I'm selling my soul. I'm so unhappy at work the fact that this job affords my family and I the lifestyle we'd wanted is mute when I'm so tired/burnt/and over it.

How do you tell the difference between burnout and boredom, between needing change and needing a new direction? I’ve been working with the same clients for three years and I swear I could close their books in my sleep. I know every weird accrual, every messy subledger, every personality quirk in their AP department. But lately, I’m realizing that familiarity isn’t the same as growth. I don’t feel challenged, but I’m also not sure if that means it’s time to leave or if I just need to push for something new internally.

A huge barrier that stops us from improving our working-lives is thinking we don’t have time… I used to think the same until I had a very harsh chat with myself. I reflected on all the things I used to do when I was studying as a medical student & working as a doctor full-time. I did SO many different things & I wasn’t burning out (I was thriving)… I managed to find time. It encouraged me to try to do the same again. It’s a hard lesson to face but you really can find it IF you want to. 🤍

I noticed that the lack of invites "into the room" over the last almost 4 years of my job has really affected my mental health. I've noticed while trying to find a different job, how much less confident I am, how much more self doubt there is... It's sad because it definitely could've been less intensified if I were simply made to feel like I was worth being in the room- which I certainly am.. but the continuous neglect of that has just reinforced old programming of unworthiness .

🤔 I’m curious: Do you feel like you’ve found a way out of burnout or are you just ruminating in it day after day? ➡️I suffered from intense burnout at Deloitte and decided to take myself out of the partner process and take a different path for my career! Now I coach people out of burnout and into their highest potential where they feel energized and alive in their body!✨ When I look back I was ruminating in it so long not even realizing it. It was like being caught in a dark room with no light!

I’m so bored with what I do and cannot find anything that inspires me. Even if I do make the switch, the interest will exist for sometime till I’m bored again. I know I’m restless and impatient, and I don’t know what’s supposed to keep me engaged. I try to distract myself with other things outside of work. But I’m becoming so disconnected and doing things lesser now. I feel sad that this is my reality. And yes, I go for counselling, I think my therapist is also exhausted with my negativity.

I have maybe the dumbest question , but forgive me I’m 25 and still figuring the healthcare /work force out . But my question is how do my lovely people who are either. A: neurodivergent and think way different than others and work at a different pace than others. OR B: they have a bit of the adhd or autism (no judgement) But how do you guys get things done like time management ways because I struggle with that as a CNA and not one of my bosses has helped me figure a way to help me .

I got asked in a meeting where I see myself in five years, and I literally blanked. Not because I don’t care or I’m unmotivated, but because I’m so deep in survival mode that planning past Friday feels fake. I’m just trying to keep my head above water with deadlines, ad hoc asks, and constant fire drills. Part of me wants to have a big career vision, but another part of me is just tired. Does anyone else feel like long-term planning is impossible when you’re constantly in reactive mode?

Sometimes I wonder if the healthcare system is designed to make us numb. Most of us start out compassionate, hopeful, patient-focused, and then year after year, it’s like the system slowly chips away at that. You’re understaffed, rushed, documenting more than connecting, and eventually you catch yourself going through the motions without feeling anything. Have you ever noticed that shift in yourself? How do you hold onto your humanity in a system that rewards detachment?
