I was never a psychiatrist by any stretch of the imagination, but I did work as a counselor at an alcohol and drug abuse center.
Needless to say, I lasted 6 months. I lived in a constant state of depression. As you know, I cant reveal any of the stories, but some were horrible. I am still affected by them today. I quit working there 12 years ago.
If all you hear all day long are the tragedies that has happened in peoples' lives, I imagine it could get to you.
