[quote=Anonymous]I get it, OP. I had a shitty, rotten day yesterday and today. I think I used the exact term, "I'm done" at least ten times. I cried, I yelled, I cried and then I yelled some more, and I realized that, yeah, I'm burnt out and now it's time for me to take care of me. I'm going back to work so that I can carve something out of this life that is not just an endless cycle of therapy and behavior classes that never feel like they're really working. We need money and I need perspective. I finally admitted that, yes, I've done a pretty good job over the past three years, but, right now, I'm not the best person to take care of DC. I've got so very little left to give - zero creative ideas and no energy whatsoever. Classic signs of burn out. I'm going to work for at least two years (enough to make some much needed money and get a routine and experience going) and then reevaluate. Do you work, volunteer, exercise? Do you have a life outside your DC? I KNOW how hard it can be, but I encourage you to try. You may also need drug/talk therapy. Good luck. You are not alone. And yes, there are many people who are worse off, but that doesn't diminish the pain you feel. You'll be in my thoughts.....[/quote]
