Work burnout and feeling guilty

Hello, everyone.

I can’t get it off my chest at work, so forgive me for doing it here. As many of you know, I’m a social worker, and I’ve been at it for many years. I’ve advised people here to try volunteering many times, and when I said it’s a rewarding occupation, I absolutely meant it. My job has taught me so many skills: empathy, optimism, believing in people. I’m very fond of my coworkers, and the money is decent. But I’ve been increasingly experiencing burnout, and none of the measures that previously worked seem to be of any help now. I’m at a period in my life when my family needs me more than my job, so financially I’m prepared to leave, and I plan to talk to my supervisor next month. Yet I feel so guilty! It’s like I’m betraying all my clients and their trust in me. It is my personal problem: I feel guilty even when I take sick days. I’m also having doubts about leaving the work that I really like. I enjoy helping people, helping them cope with their mental health issues and life situations... though I’m a little bit tired from all the times when I couldn’t help or when our resources were not enough.

I’m a firm believer that in any job, it’s best to leave before the burnout happens, yet here I am battling with my inner voice telling me that I’m about to make a mistake. :(
