I've come to the realization lately that I am a basically a cold hearted..........well, you know.

I don't get sad when people die.

I don't get sad when kids are hurt.

I don't get sad when I take care of a rape victim.

I don't get sad when..........you name it.

Have I so seriously closed myself off from dealing with stuff like this that I've become an emotion-less (is that a word?) nurse?

I crave laughter, joy, and fun times. But anything that SHOULD be sad just puts me into a nondescript state. I deal with it and help my patients through it and remain uber-professional........

But I just don't FEEL anything.

Maybe I need therapy.


Anyone else?
