Hi winney....

G-d! You sound just like I did this time last year! i had that same stomachache on Sunday nights and multiple breakdown sessions weekly...now that I left I feel much better....

What brought you to the field of social work? What do you like about social work (in general...not related to any specific job)? How can you incorporate your ilkes into a new position?

Have you considered getting out of the government-run agencies, which are filled with BS and bureaucracy and go into a corporate-run field? That's what I did and it helped immensely! Do private-funded hospitals, like Kaiser or St. Joseph's have openings for LCSWs in your area? The nice thing about these type of establishments is that they take care of their own. If you do a good job, you get noticed and appreciated for it...

I wish you the best of luck...it can be tough this field....there are options out there for you!! Hopefully you'll find it soon! I'd hate to see another good SW'er drop out due to a bad system!
