Don't let your internal persona of a hard worker allow you to compromise your needs, or your health. When the shit inevitably hits the fan, it is natural to blame yourself in order to improve on the the situation in the future. However, most catastrophes that happen near your will be completely out of your control.
 I still blame myself, I worked at a "walk-in" ambulatory clinic and there was a lady about the age of my mother, who sought our facility for help. She should have gone to the hospital. She had a cardiac event and died as she stumbled through the front door. I did everything I could have done, it wasn't enough.
 My best has never been enough for any major corporation, but I can rely on my self to protect my self. To the corporation, I will always be expendable.
 I love your courage but we must maintain the vessel that houses this courage.
