I am a really sensitive person, and when I have to assist with the euthanization of animals, I find myself taking days to recover emotionally. As you can imagine, I spend most of my time recovering from these events. I don't know if I need to figure out how to cope better or if I need to look for a new job. It feels like too much.

My heart goes out to you because I've felt the same way. How long have you been in this position? Sometimes, it takes some time to get used to. But, there's always the possibility that it might be too emotionally overwhelming for you, and that's ok too! There are many great jobs where you can help animals but not have to deal with the emotional trauma of euthanization.

Is there anyway you can tell you leadership that you would rather not assist with this process unless absolutely necessary? I'm assuming you've done this several times so it might not be something you can get used to

Do you know how burned out you are exactly?

According to psychologists Herbert Freudenberger (who invented the term "Burnout") and Gail North, there are 12 stages.

Burnout has a wide range, from "I can't wait for the day to be over" to having a complete mental or physical collapse.

Make sure you pay attention to your symptoms and not lose track of who you are and where you need to be mentally, physically, and emotionally.

Hi guys

This question may not be related. However I wanted to know from personal and family point of view how it is like to relocate from India and live abroad .
Let's say Family consists of husband , wife and a kid . I understand we will get good facilities, education, cleanliness , good air etc , however I wanted to check whether people gel up easily in the new environment? Don't they feel loneliness/ difficult to adjust? Do they look for similar asian nationalities to kill boredom?

529 Plan VERSUS Prepaid

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.
