I'm not sure where to put this, literally and figuratively. But here it was. Ok so mom and I just moved, and anyone that has moved knows how stressful it is. So I was in bed for a couple days, I just chalked it up to my chronic pain. But I realized I'm taking on my mom's stress. Has anyone experienced this?

Which do you suffer from the most? Burnout is defined as physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion from long-term, emotionally demanding situations, while compassion fatigue is described as physical, emotional, and spiritual depletion associated with caring for people in significant distress.

I am working on a compassion fatigue recovery program and wanted to share one of its graphics with you. I would love your feedback on an article that goes with it...does it apply to you? How have you been affected by compassion fatigue? Feel free to share your thoughts. Meaning Erosion: When Nothing Feels Like It Matters Anymore Do you remember when you used to love your work? When a good day felt good. When you went home, tired but full. When helping someone meant something — really meant something — deep in your chest. And then one day... it didn't. Not all at once. It happened slowly, like air leaking out of a balloon. You didn't notice at first. You just kept going. But somewhere along the way, the meaning went quiet. You still show up. You still do the things. But it feels like going through a car wash with the windows up — everything moving around you, nothing really touching you. You help people. But you don't feel it anymore. You used to care so much it hurt. Now you're not sure what you feel. And that scares you a little. Because not caring doesn't feel like you. This is called meaning erosion. It's not laziness. It's not a weakness. It's not burnout exactly — though it often comes with it. It's what happens when your heart has given and given and given... and nobody ever helped it get filled back up. The meaning didn't disappear because you're broken. It disappeared because you were never told that you needed tending too.
