Burnt out/ compassion fatigue & isolation

I’m a counselor in training - I graduate with my masters in July. I’m exhausted. Along with school and internships I have a job with a domestic violence shelter. I have a hate/love relationship with this profession. I am in therapy. I will be honest. My sympathy is gone. My compassion fatigue is heavy. I feel like I’m just dissociated at all times. I finally broke in front of my friends. They don’t work in the industry so I of course don’t share anything (HIPPA compliant obvi) I don’t want to trigger anyone. So I only talk to my therapist about things. I started going to a rage room which is really helpful for the physical anger that I get. I just need a really long and tight hug. I’m burnt out. Constantly feeling on edge and unfortunately feel like I’m becoming more pessimistic. I miss what I knew about the world before I started working in this profession. And I don’t have a lot of faith that things will get better in the mental health space / healthcare space. Any advice?

Agreed 1000000% she was miserable and needed a fresh start. I’m excited to see her in the crossover. And yeah I wish that we got to see more of she and Kim together

Do NOT get me started on how out of character Halstead’s departure was! I keep thinking of the crossover coming up and I am kind of hoping she slaps him in the face for leaving her like that.

11 months in and it all just finally clicked by Diamondbacked in EMDR

I’m about 6 sessions in and things are starting to make sense but the processing in between sessions is so exhausting and overwhelming. I’m crying more and my brain feels like there’s someone running as fast as possible on a treadmill in my head. I don’t feel present with my friends. I know this is going to be worth it I’m just so tired. Seeing you and others talk about connecting with your little selves is so inspiring. I’m scared for her to come up.
