I am curious how many of us are employed/volunteer in a helping profession. I am a social worker in a level 1 trauma center and notice a lot of other social workers, RN's, medical staff and caregivers on these boards. I feel like I spend so much time helping others, supporting other and empowering others, when I really should be more empowering, helpful and supportive to myself and my needs.

I am a social worker who medically retired in November. My hope is after the surgery and an additional spine surgery I will be able to go back into the work force.

Registered Nurse!

I worked with Developmentally Disabled Adults for 10 years and now I'm in IT. I agree a lot of people in jobs that help others.
