I've been working in social care and after working in a really tough job I decided to work in admin and did some temping in a lovely office. I realised that for those 5 weeks I was the most content and self confident I'd been in a long time.
This week I went back to social care and I can't believe how awful I feel. I'm drained emotionally and feel so low and down. I grew up being the caretaker in my family and it made me so down and now it's happening in my career.
The thing is because social care is the career I chose I feel like I've made a mess of everything because I can't leave it again. I'm 27, I should have my career figured out by now. I also won't allow myself to do admin because I feel I should be doing more, something more challenging and related to looking after people in some way.
I wish I knew what to do.
