Is my job too much for me?

Question

I enjoy my job , Although it has it's ups and downs I like the atmosphere and the people I work with. Unfortunately, the workload is extreme... I'm doing double the work I should be doing because people keep quitting. Lately, I've been coming home experiencing moderate headaches and ear pain. It has been driving me into some kind of a mild psychosis where I feel extremely irritated . I've also been very forgetful.. I keep burning things I cook and leaving projects unfinished around the house. I have very little motivation or time to do house chores or self care.

I don't know what to do. I am scared for my mental health but I don't want to quit my job . Today I became so angry and irritated I started punching my wall and crying. I feel like I can't handle it anymore. I don't know what to do.

You poor love, you really do sound stressed and no job is worth that. Can you take a week off to think things over? Maybe look for alternative employment. You're going to end up having a nervous breakdown, you really need to talk to someone. Start by asking your G.P to refer you for counseling before it gets out of hand.

maybe you should see your doctor and get that checked out

"I enjoy my job."  If that's the case, you need to talk to your boss about your workload.  The boss will keep giving you jobs if you don't speak up.

You have three options: put up with things until there is a breaking point, and it sounds like you're close to it; talk to your supervisor and ask them to help distribute the work load ; quit.

If I were in your shoes, I'd take the second option. If that doesn't bring about resolution, I'd be looking for another job. Good luck,
