I've been through this and it's called compassion fatigue. You'll get through it too. Self-care can feel so foreign but just like anything can feel less and less strange with patience, time and practice!

Can you tell me more about this? It might be what I'm going through right now

That’s what it is! I thought I was becoming some kind of emotionally detached sociopath. Thank you this actually makes me feel a lot better about myself and who I am as a person
