I work in healthcare. I take care of people. It's what I do all day long. Rarely do I do what I want.
Me too. I'm a nurse. I took care of people in the ICU and in Hospice. I had gotten so accustomed to putting everyone's needs first and mine last. Bomb was dropped a few months after I went back to work from maternity leave. I will admit, taking care of others actually HELPED me get through my own stuff for quite some time. To help others who had it much worse distracted me away from my woah is me.
I did get burnt out. I do not work in patient care right now. (as you can tell by how I can post). But self care is so needed when you spend majority of time caring for others.
