[quote=Anonymous]How much time have you given these new interventions (therapy and meds)?  Remember that it won't get better immediately.  It will take some time!

I think it's worth considering whether this isn't the right role for you, but I wouldn't rush to step down to a 14.  I would definitely give some other options a try before jumping to that.  Try another 15 in a different department or agency.  Maybe there's something about specific dynamics in your current position causing this.  It may also take some more time to get comfortable in this role (although you've been doing it for 3 years).

I agree with the PP who noted that there will always be some grumpy people.  Identify whose opinion you really value and believe in, and when they complain, take it to heart and consider it as good advice.  Don't feel guilty -- just use it to improve and do better next time.  Then recognize that many of the others are going to complain no matter what and are not worth getting upset about.  Try to brush off their complaints.

I have a different situation but am also adjusting.  I'm similar to you in feeling guilty and struggling with the responsibility.  It has pros and cons, but I think it's possible to be a really good supervisor if you tweak a few things.[/quote]
