I can't find anything for a job causenothing sounds interesting.

The pay may be significantly less, but, as you know, there are clerical jobs in healthcare, e.g. unit clerk, registration, medical records, etc. Those jobs don't pay much, but if you can get that job at a VA hospital, that work can go towards pension benefits should you continue to work for the government later on. And these clerical jobs can be less stressful, though they may not be more interesting. (I don't know what it's like to work at the VA, but I think one reason more people don't apply is that it can take months of beurocratic processing between hire and job start.)

In any case, my favorite employer is the local/state/federal government, including universities and libraries.
Also, I remember reading a study of highly paid nurses who specialized in administering anesthesia, and they would often walk away from their $100,000 per year job because of job stress, largely attributed to problematic co-workers, which, for many, were more of a problem than the incessant demands of the job.

Hello :hair: TLC,

I suffered from job burnout around 4 years ago, and it intertwined with my CD. I don't even like to describe it, that's how bad it was.
Here's a few thoughts for you:

You are only one person, and there is not 25 hours in a day.
Your are not Wonder Woman, a juggler in a circus, nor do you have a magic wand either.
Do not overload your plate with STUFF, emotionally, mentally, or physically.
Share the STUFF with close family, friends, professionals, could even be a pet cat (have you hugged a horse lately?).
Do not have people dumping even more STUFF on your plate, sort of like knowing your limits.
Don't forget about a "me time", better yet, try to do something for yourself that's completely whimsical and ridiculous. When you come back from that "time", you might have a different perspective on your STUFF.

Some of these things can be very hard to do or accept, but just the same, I found them helpful when I was burning out.

:support: to you.
