Hey winnie...
I'm not a social worker. I'm a marriage and family therapist working towards state licensure. I spent three years doing social work-related duties for County mental health while accruing licensure hours and can appreciate your frustrations!!! I finally had to leave my job because the caseloads were out of control and all we were doing was putting out fires!
As a social worker, you have A LOT of options...especially since you are an LCSW...your license goes a lot further than my MFT licensure, which is restricted to my state.
You can even go into a university or community college as a counselor for disability services (especially with YOUR mental health background!), the student health center, or career services.
May I suggest that you look at the aspects of social work you DO like and see what jobs fits those parts...
If you'd like to PM me to talk further, I'd be happy to talk...
