I had a really long week at work - today alone, I met with 10 different people one at a time for half an hour and had to talk so much my voice went hoarse. I have a hard time feeling stable when dealing with that many people. This was after a very long week of long hours. I think in my head also I think "Oh a normal person could handle this." I'm trying to do that less. Maybe normal people can handle it, but maybe also there are 'normal' people that wouldn't necessarily be able to handle it. What tricks do you use to encourage self-compassion? Because I do realize that thinking "Oh I can't do this because I'm not normal" isn't helping anything..it doesn't make me feel better.

And technically I did meet with the 10 people, I was just miserable afterwards.
