Kitsune, I have to commend you for your ability to adapt ... finding a balance between your experience of the world and an interpretation of it that allows you to remain functional is nothing short of amazing. How it works is far less important than the fact that it does.
One of the things that I do appreciate about my job is that once the day is over, and I'm out of the building ... it's done. Paperwork does not follow me home, neither (hopefully) do patients. I do occasionally take "on call" as well ... luckily not as anxiety provoking as what you've had to do, essentially I just give a thumbs up or thumbs down to commitment petitions filed by families when a commitment officer is not available in the building. I do occasionally end up with consults regarding royally screwed up cases, but more often than not it's just like handling them in the building, with someone else following my instructions — I don't have to go in or get my hands dirty.
