About the time that I'm feeling as if I'm hitting my stride in CPE - that I'm feeling capable and caring and self-aware, I also realize that I have had to care less about everything I care about in real life.
Is this why my husband is asleep alone in bed right now while I haven't quite made it upstairs yet?
:( I'm sorry it has been so hard for you. It occurs to me that this resource might be useful to you:

It is a brochure about self care tips for clergy. I designed this woman's website (she is a UMC minister who deals with mental illness) and she has some good resources up. I hope things will get better!
