Woman overboard?

Life feels like it has come to a grinding halt in the last few weeks. I feel a little bit like I am lost and don't quite know where I am going at the moment.

I went to church on Sunday and during worship I just cried and cried. I am not sure I can even express what was going on, but I felt like I had been cut adrift in the middle of a big ocean and like my little liferaft was being swamped.

Then today at work I had a meeting and we have been told that fundamentally there is no career progression for social workers. We are all stuck where we are and as a result loads of people are leaving. The main problem is that I LOVE my work (I hate bits of it and like to moan, but generally it is a good thing!!) and I really like working with my client group. So, what do I do? Do I stick with a job that I love but have nowhere to go with it? Or, do I move onto something different which might give me somewhere to go in a professional sense. It's a hard decision.

So at the moment I feel like my personal life is generally bollocks and my work life is not much better. Maybe I am just being melodramatic and I should just pull myself together!!
