Reply #26: Just because you work with mental health doesn't mean you can't have probl

can't have problems. Yes, I can see the difficulty in being the provider having problems, but it sounds like you are suffering from PTSD. Steady deterioration, falling into a hole, yes, sounds like a problem. Questioning yourself, your ability to deal with what you are having to deal with, all seems normal also. Really hard, but a normal difficult thing to do. You don't want to be stuck for a long time, best to take care of yourself and let yourself be on the patient side rather than the provider side. Also very difficult, but take care of yourself, otherwise you can take care of no one. Poorly written, but please take careof yourself. You are human and have human needs.

Hard, being a provider in need, I know. Take care.
