It’s so draining. Wish I was German but I seem to absorb it big time, then come home after work and cry on the couch and my wife gets mad at me for doing it. I just say it’s work stress.
I’d be an absolute puddle if I was a doctor.

It's a tough load to carry, but seeing as you're always there, you're exactly the right person for it. Sometimes people don't need perfect advice as much as they need someone to listen, truly listen to what they're going through. Be kind to yourself friend,
