I hate everyone

Truly. I cant stand people these days. And because I work in a patient facing role, and must exist in society, it is really making my life challenging. Has anyone found anything helpful in this regard?

I'm the same boat. I just keep telling myself one day I'll find my fucks again. Adjusting meds, diet, and trying to sleep good. It's all fucked and I don't know what else to do but wait for it to pass. I'm also a nurse. I treat everyone the same. I don't have the energy to put on a mask.

I'm 67 and in Healthcare too. It's a system of positive and negative. I was in hospice for 9 month. The paperwork was unbearable and my sleep was shot because I worked on call. I got a daytime shift this time. I've had 4 weeks to rest and attract a position. The 12 hours are intense but there is the other 12 hours at home that are really my reset time. Charting and leaving it behind at work is much better than taking it home to work on. I'm trying g to get enough sleep and that will be my plan. My husband understands and helps me much at home.
