Hi jenms,
Thank you for your post, we are so glad that you've taken a big step in sharing here. We hope you find some comfort in sharing here, and in hearing from our lovely community members, many of whom will be able to relate to what you’ve been through.
We hear that you are going through a really difficult time, it can make life very hard when our job is unbearable. It sounds like you are in survival mode and are probably burnt out from the stress, we know it's hard but please be kind to yourself during this time. If you can take some time off that may give you some time to recooperate, a GP is a great resource for this as they are able to provide you with a medical certificate when you explain how you've been feeling. If you ever want to talk this through with one of the Beyond Blue counsellors, feel free to give us a call on 1300 22 4636, or reach out through
Online Chat here.
We also wanted to let you know that if you’re feeling suicidal or are having thoughts about harming yourself, it's important to take immediate steps to keep safe. Lifeline offer crisis support, available 24/7 on 13 11 14, or online:

Thank you for sharing this and giving this community a chance to offer you their understanding and advice. We’re here to listen and offer support, and you never know how your story might help someone else.
Kind regards,
Sophie M
