Burned Out Professional CGer.

[CBotP2RB]

Hi. I am relativelly new around here. I have been working in healthcare for a decade or so, maybe more like 12 years. I am just tired of it. I am always caring for everyone else but no one allows me time for myself. I have to steal it from them. I felt like I had a messiah complex as a kid and it just followed me into the work world.

I can not take it anymore. I can not find a new carreer. My family and my client are always needing something from me. When I want a brake I get disrespect. I went into psychology to help people but now most days I want to be callious to the pains of my fellow man.

It's a shame no one replied to you when you posted this months ago and it appears you may never have been back since. In the rare event you should return and read this (or for anyone else in your position) please take time away from your job. Your clients need your full attention and they deserve your compassion. From one professional caregiver to another, please remember, you can't take care of anyone else if you don't take care of yourself first. I hope things are looking up for you.
