Thanks for your insight Fresia.

I'm lucky I guess, i don't get into trouble for my "tantrums". I've been blessed either with people who look the other way, or people who are too scared to broach the subject...
I don't think I over commit proffessionally, but I've been known to do so emotionally (do you think it may be linked?) I've had to actively distance myself from trying to "save" everyone because THAT has lead to burnout/meltdown on more than 1 occasion... Thought it was just me being weird again...

Lonely in some ways? yes, DEF. But atleast it's allowed me to keep this job for so long
