Completely burned out and waking up trembling from fear

I work in youth care and there was a reorganization. it was presented beautifully and they promised better care. I completely went for it. Then it turned out to be more of a shrinkage, less manpower and more clients to support.

What a disappointment. When you do not agree, it´s better to leave, was the message from management staff. So that was it, worked since ten years with so much love for the clients and the organization. Always work late without getting payed. Always ready to take an extra duty or stay longer, to create the possibility for an extra activity.

I came home and couldn´t sleep anymore. Then I completely crashed and woke up in the middle of the night, trembling with fear. I didn´t dare to go out anymore. From one day to the next I was nothing anymore, powerless in a corner, not being able to concentrate. Completely burned out, as they say so nicely.

I am so happy I found a good therapist here. I am not back just yet, but I do start to choose more and more for myself and start to focus on inner growth.
