Stressed

[Turtle1450]

It’s happening yet again. Is it me or is it the jobs I’m finding. I’m super stressed all the time and bringing it home. Things were good at my job at first but since it’s gotten busier I am realizing that it’s not about the patient it’s about the census. So much pressure to push people out of the hospital and it’s getting to me. Part of me is starting to think I need a new career all together or just need something in actual hospital social work and not just discharge planning. I have been coming home and dreading going back to work the entire time. My husband is frustrated and basically to the point where I just need to deal with I because of course we need the income. I’m tired of being negative and anxious all of the time. I feel so disconnected with my family even when I am home. I have a masters in social work and a lisence. Any ideas on less stressful careers that I would get paid decently would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

Hi I was going to suggest social work or teaching but realised that these are very stressful jobs too. I think to earn the good money you have to learn to cope with the stress or else take a job with lower pay. x
