Re you OP, I feel for you.
I need a thicker skin too, but I wonder if the beginning of being able to cope with this kind of stuff is self care and retreating. Like when you leave work, do things you enjoy and be around people you love and who make you feel good. I just think it could at least take the edge off by putting you in a better mood. We are much more able to cope w the carp that comes our way when we are feeling good.
I hope you get your dream job someday again, working with the elderly and caretaking.
