I'm Starting to Forgive Myself.
I'm a social worker. I think I've talked about it before. And if I haven't mentioned my job, I've definitely mentioned the burnout.
It's a part of the job, unfortunately. Caring so much that you're pushed beyond your limits by the desire to help. When your life is all about helping others, it's so easy to forget about helping yourself.
Today someone reminded me that (social) work cant be done by only one person, and if that means that things don't get done then that's okay. Well, not okay, but not my fault.
I think sometimes you just need to be reminded that you're not the one responsible for the world falling apart.
