My husband and I both work with the disabled and sometimes I feel like I don’t want to work anymore and I hate that I feel this way

I feel a little guilty for feeling this way because I know I’m an emotional person. But I feel like a complete failure sometimes. My self esteem never has been the best. I know this isn’t rational but I feel like I’ve failed my clients by not getting a life I want. I feel like a fail financially and in so many areas. It gets to the point where I feel like there’s no point in doing anything and I don’t wanna work anymore. I’m a nurse and my husband works with kids with disabilities. I don’t know how to work through this.<br><br>Edit: I think I should update this post. I decided to post this because I was feeling overwhelmed and a little dazed. I wasn’t looking for sympathy and I certainly wasn’t fishing for comments. I think I may have used the term failure a little inaccurately. I was looking for some sort of vent. But what I found was a community. And I got a lot of comments, which made me cry. Just a few from the Chambers community made me feel better. Some made me feel not so alone. Others made me realize I really wasn’t a failure and to keep doing what I’m doing. <br><br>I am not a failure in my life. But I did need a vent after a hard day of work and I found some comfort here. I see a lot of people with a lot of problems that many people can’t handle. I have been to therapy, counseling, and have tried different coping mechanisms. This was just a bad day for me. I do appreciate all the kind words and comments!
