You are so very burned out from giving to everyone around you. You do a commendable job - you help people everyday, from all areas of life. That is a hard thing to do, yet you continue to manage it despite your own personal tragedies.

If you don't grieve, if you don't take time for yourself, it won't get better. You aren't selfish for wanting this - it is something you really need. If you can't take the time away from your job (any vacation time coming?), try to do something for yourself each day.

You can't be on call 24/7 and not break down along the way. Your body just isn't working well that way, nor is your emotional well being.

Please try to find time for you - doing what you want to do. I admire you tremendously for your job - I couldn't do it. I was a CNA for awhile and to see that all the time hurt too much.
