I work in a clinic and I just have to say, there is a TON of emotional energy that goes into being a medical professional. I am a compassionate and empathetic individual and to give so much of myself all day helping others with their struggles can really take from my energy.

There are days where everyone is crabby and I cannot apologize enough. Apologize to my patients, the providers treating them (there are a multitude of things, wait times, multitasking 7 different things and falling behind...you get the idea) and then just when I think I am gaining ground there is something I forgot that comes to bite me.

I have been in healthcare for about nine years and I really am passionate about what I do, I just have those days where I am dog tired. A lot of my free time I just want to be home, I am becoming more and more reclusive and really enjoy my alone time.

Some days go great, everything is smooth and you feel like a rock star cause you made a ton of impossible things become possible and everyone is happy with you. But even so I still like to have my peace and quiet, I don't always feel like there is much of myself to give after work.
