After 11 years as a pharmacist, I can officially say I'm burned out. It's so discouraging after all the work and heart I put into getting where I am, but the truth is, if I could do something else and earn as good of a living for my family, I would leave it all behind and pivot to a different career. I have problems with depression and anxiety now. I don't remember the last time I had a day that wasn't stressful.
Is it because I'm a manager, or is it pharmacy? Probably a little of both, but it doesn't really matter. There's no way for me to work full time as a pharmacist and not be some kind of manager.
I'm trapped.
