Work!

I truly feel burnt out from work. My boss is giving me more and more to do and I feel so stressed out and also going through ivf so I feel like I don’t need this extra stress but my boss relies on me so much. What do I do ?!?

Have a conversation with your boss about it, let your voice be heard cause at the end of the day, you and your health matters

Maybe ask yourself what would your boss do if you quit?
Replace you pretty quickly??

You can also try imagining how your future self will feel looking back at this in ten years time - will you be happy with how you prioritised?

Your post just popped up on my feed. I TTC for years and my job is very stressful (social work) it took everything from me. I decided to go part time and work really hard to leave work at work. My work was never done so I could be working into the night and it still wouldn’t be done. I set clear boundaries with myself. But I also spoke to my manager about my TTC struggles and if I found that things were too much and demanding then I would speak to them about. As the previous poster said, they would replace you. It’s harsh but true, I’m just a number in my job, replaceable. There’s more to life than work, start making plans to do fun things outside your job and enjoy this time. Honestly if I could go back I would give myself a hug and tell myself everything will turn out as id hoped. Don’t spend all of your energy on work. You are most important in your life. In the UK there are policies in place for people undergoing fertility treatment, do you have that in the US?
