- dear viewer,
this week I talk a bit about burn out... because damn I'm in the thick of it. I've been feeling anxious, depressed, sick, angry, irritated, sad all at once these past few weeks and it's really hit me with full force these past few days. but. as with everything in life, we must move forward with life. I hope my video helped you to feel a little less alone today if you're experiencing similar things. let's talk if you need someone, don't hesitate to comment below. thank you for watching and for your support!!!💕

I am a nurse working with mental health and addictions and I feel this sooooo much right now. The balance between personal safety and client health is a big struggle.. burn out is so so real. Thank you for sharing.
I am going into my MSW program soon and seeing this is very helpful and so so honest of you (thank you for that). I want to give you a hug. I feel like its very important for social workers to work in positions where they can give (of course) but also gain. If a position or population just takes, and the SW doesnt feel a reward or a passion being around the population and doing the daily grind, burn out is inevitable right? I'm so scared to choose the wrong path, but you are showing me its all a learning experience regardless. You're still growing into this part of your life. You'll grow from this, and perhaps it's all showing you what you don't want in the process of crystallizing what you do want for yourself- and that is very valuable.
Hi there! Awh I am so so happy thank you for your comment! It's so true, it's all of a learning experience regardless there's nothing I regret or take back having come into this current path. Thank you for your insight and positivity, I truly appreciate it 💕 best of luck with with the beginning of your studies, love!💕
Social work graduate school + personal issues got me on the edge of burnout
So relate to this!! Working in medicine also has high burn out rates. Taking care of people gets EXHAUSTING and becomes very draining. It's so hard to juggle work, school and volunteer work and often times I find my needs get pushed onto the back burner. Sometimes I just feel like a robot. Feels very validating hearing about your struggles with this too. thanks for sharing!!
thank you for making this video. It's good to see all sides of a profession, even the not-so-good parts like burnout. mental health days are super important
Sorry you are feeling this way. Personally, I think you are doing it exactly right! Not hiding from the signs of burn out, no forcing down any issues. I hope bringing up any security measure issue with your boss will help, and I also hope it becomes easier for you to find your balance. It can be tricky
It sounds like you will be able to handle complex situations after working with what seems like it could be a traumatized population. It makes sense that one might feel a little drained under those circumstances. I like what you said about vicarious resilience.
One thing that may provide some balance for some is to type in "I'm depressed" in the RUclips search box and use the past 24 hours filter. Sometimes you may find people whose lives you may even help to save. Some find this to be a rewarding population. Anyway, thank you for this video and have a great rest of your day.
I hope you feel better soon!
I totally agree I’m a social worker working on my LCSW hours and have been a trauma therapist for a year. It has been extremely rough and draining currently looking to work with a new population. I hope you feel better !
I'm glad you could resonate! Wow trauma therapist I want to say thank you for the work you do, it really is such a difficult field isn't it? Like we're here to help but also need to help ourselves..! It's a hard dynamic to deal with :( I am feeling much better today, thank you! Sending positivity!!💕
it's ok to pick the population that you want to work with. currently i work with very problematic kids and i clearly don't have the mental capacity to handle the behavioral issues. i think it's ok to pick work that you can handle, and then later on when you're older you might have more mental bandwidth for the more serious ones.
I’ve been dancing with burnout for the last year or so. Children’s Services isn’t an easy place to work but I stay for my kids (clients). ❤️
I’m graduating May 2019. most jobs you can experience burnout. It’s sad to know that it’s talked about more in the social work field.
idk if you have a video on it but what specific work do you do?
also! I think it’s worth it to talk about safety measures with your supervisor as well as what the organization can do to assist employees experiencing burnout.
I hope it gets better for you 💕
@@giovonnihinton2733 I believe she did her fieldwork in grad school at hospitals in medical social work. Then took this job in a substance abuse center as a therapist.
Read The Age of Overwhelm by laura van dernoot lipsky! It talks about managing things that can lead to burnout!
Sup sis
Is not being able to say no an Asian thing or a "you are a worker and are replaceable so standing up to authority can be very dangerous." As well as generally not wanting to admit "defeat."
Hi there, I would say it might be a bit of all of those! Generally, Asians have had a trend of not being able to or not choosing to stand up to authority figures (a lot comes from certain Confucius teachings wayyyy back) I also think in many workplaces employees are subtly given the message that they are disposable, which is terrible but unfortunately the reality. And yes! at least speaking for myself, I hate admitting defeat! Haha I always want to do,do,do and go,go,go and will attack a problem at every angle before I could even consider defeat
