Empathy burnout

Really? You go pet sitting and you don’t leave the house? Maybe you need to prioritise yourself a bit. Take a step back, a deep breath and think about what you’d like to do.

I think that has been lost in translation. I mean consider yourself, as well as the pets you are caring for. Some extra self care will prevent burn out.

Since you know nothing about me, I live off grid with no electric and no tv and no hot water. So when I Petsit it is a luxury and I revel in having the things I don’t normally have. Including pets and their love. I actually needed to know that others have been through some trying times as well. So many people have been supportive and I really appreciate all of their stories.
It makes me feel like I’m not alone.
