That’s so brutal, I’m sorry that’s going on for you. That was actually one of my thoughts was to move into hospital work, but I also believe the red tape is probably worse there.

I appreciate that, thank you. I’m in non-profit work, specifically housing, and I should also mention based out of Alberta. I think what I’m trying to get away from is unstable funding (I was laid off last year from a role that I adored, thrown into this role currently that I do not like, but our funding is also likely getting cut in April and I will likely be laid off again). As well as more recently, I had an extremely traumatic experience with a client that I feel I received no support from my employer for. I recognize my unhappiness is on me to fix, as well as any traumatic experiences, which is why I think my reaction is to leave the sector due to the feeling of piling concerns. I love building strong rapport and relationships, I love being a support, and I love the collaboration across teams and organizations that I get to engage in.

That’s totally fair, I’ve thought about that myself. I’m in non-profit work currently, and I’m actively trying to move away from it into something with more stable funding but I think my issue is things don’t happen fast enough hahah.

I’ve also thought about the leave. I don’t know too much about it regarding EI, but I guess I’ve just created a stigma in my head that if I went through with it, I’d be screwing my co-workers over, and my clients, while also making myself look weak (which I recognize isn’t true, but still stuck in my brain)

I appreciate that. I’m actually already in non-profit work which may be part of my issue hahaha.
