I think it's time to leave

After about 8 months at this company, I feel like I've reached my breaking point in this field. I have a lot going on in my personal life and the chaos of this job has left me drained and anxious. I can no longer take being overstimulated for hours while trying to regulate client's big emotions. I'm also on the spectrum and sometimes I want to have a meltdown alongside the kids! I truly love this job and my clinic is amazing but I need quiet. It's not healthy to constantly be in fight or flight/ hyper vigilance like this. If I don't leave now it wouldn't be fair to the kids either because I just know my quality of care would become abysmal. The thought of job hunting in this economy makes my stomach ache but there HAS to be something else out there.
