Oh, Donna, Stretch your arms out then wrap them around yourself and give your self a big ol' hug. Squeeze. I know what you mean, job burn out. Does your employer have a way to take a break, take a long vacation, leave of absence, sometimes if you have something to look forward to you can get through a tough patch. Then, make plans.
Sometimes changing jobs, tho a tiresome process (Cam on the Psycho-Babble) is job hunting in the med world) can help refocus. As you have probably heard before-it may help to talk to your doctor or pdoc or therapist?
Just out here in cyberspace checking in.

> I take prozac and zyprexa and I don't think I have a social phobia--it is only having to work that stresses me too much. I don't know if it is just that I have major burn-out from nursing, but it scares me to be responsible for someone's life, and I just feel too old to be doing this(i am 55). I have inherited a small amt of money (my mom died 11/2years ago and I am still with a bit of grief about that) and part of me wants to just live on the money, but I know that would not last for very long. I think I am rambling, but I do not know what else to say. I get suicidal when I feel overwhelmed. Thanks, Dona
