Burnout
Any ever experienced severe job related burnout? How did you deal with it? Change jobs? Take a different job maing less money/responsibility? I feel like I'm at the end of my rope (professionally speaking). I read an article on wiki about burnout that speaks about with the exception of a change in values/depression type stuff-I feel like my faith in God has kept me level headed, but mentally/emotionally I am tired, drained, unproductive, and ready to give up and move on. But if I do that I throw all stability out the window, I'd have to move out of my house, find a new job, would probably efect where I go to church, be a huge paycut no matter where I go, etc.
I'm wondering what others have done? Did you leave a job you enjoyed because you got burned out? If you did, did you ever regret it, or were you glad to move on?
PS-yes I've prayed about it. Been praying, and will continue to pray. If you want to pray for me also I won't ask you not to. But in particular I'm asking whose dealt with this before, and did getting away from it help you or hurt you (did you have regrets) in the long run. Especially if someone left a job and immediately saw their income cut in half, if you did that, was it worth it?
