At the moment my life seems to be nothing more then work, doing overtime, eat and sleep. It's a hell at work, with lots of children fighting for their lives. We are supposed to be an intensive care, but at the moment we are also an emergency room for children. It's a bit much to do both things at once. Plus we have to work extra days because of some colleagues leaving or being sick.
Anyways, I just had to do the big complain thing, cause I hardly find time for myself at the moment, and now I do feel a little bit better.
Do I have a life?
I know that lonely feeling well. I use to work a lot and just basically had time for work and sleep. I was making good moola but something was missing. A life! But what you're doing is needed. I know 3 nurses who say the exact same thing and get down a lot but then when they think of how important their jobs are and all the people they are helping then they feel much better and with a sense of purpose. It isn't everyone who has such an important and fullfilling job. 
Maybe see if you can get on something like what's called a swing shift. Here they get one week off a month by doing that. In between it's tough and a lot of work but you get that one week to chill and maintain a life. Or try getting off 2 days a week. If you have those things available there anyway.
