"I love my job as a nurse, but lately, I feel emotionally drained. Seeing patients suffer, especially when I can't do much to help, weighs heavily on me. How do I keep going without burning out?"
Response from Askly Help:
Dear Aisha,
Your compassion is your greatest strength, but even the strongest hearts need care. It’s okay to feel overwhelmed—caring for others is a heavy burden, and you must care for yourself, too.
- Acknowledge Your Feelings – You are human. Feeling pain for others is not weakness; it’s proof of your kindness.
- Set Emotional Boundaries – Love your patients, but don’t carry their pain home. Find small ways to separate work and personal life.
- Lean on Support – Talk to colleagues, family, or a mentor. You are not alone.
- Find Joy in Small Wins – Focus on the moments where you bring comfort, no matter how small. They matter.
You are making a difference, Aisha. Never forget that.
With care,
Askly Help
