[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Health care worker. I'm so tired, and I look so old. I never dealt with anxiety or burnout before this, and I find myself irritable and ready to snap all the time. I have some cardiac damage from a likely COVID infection early on, and that's probably going to shorten my lifespan.

My spouse could have written this.

It reminds me of when a president goes into office looking fresh and their age, but the stress of the job quickly ages them.  Like Obama, for example.

They have seen more death during their short career than both their father & grandfather combined during their whole careers.  That takes a toll on a person.

They are now in therapy and doing better, but I don't think there's any amount that will help them not look so old and tired.   :cry:   [/quote]

PP here.

I'm so sorry. I do find comfort in the idea that we do the work before us, and that it's not up to us to chose the challenges, most of the time.
