I was a 911 dispatcher for close to 6 years. Towards the end I was deep into all of these things, and more. I couldn't tell because it had all been normal to me for years by that point. It's insane how normal this can all seem from the inside. My advice to anyone reading this is that you rarely can be a good judge of your own burnout while experiencing it. Listen to the people you trust when they bring these things up. It's not judgement, it's not an attack on you. It's genuinely in your best interest to not let it get too far. I have been out for almost 4 years now and the last 2 months are the first time in almost a decade I remember what actual happiness is like and how it feels to enjoy doing something.
