I've been grooming on my own for about 5 years (went to school for it and groomed out of my mom's house) and a couple months ago I finally started grooming at the daycare I've worked at for a few years. Due to my brain injury I didn't think I could groom every day bc I get a lot of mental fatigue. Things went well for a while but I've been slipping in the quality of my grooms. It's probably due to me feeling drained lately. There have been a couple customers who weren't happy with parts of the groom and I just feel disappointed with myself. I should be better than this. I am better than this. I hate the feeling I get when I look at a dog and I feel like everything looks awful even when it's not beyond repair or really that bad.

Anyone else here who has had rough periods and gotten through it or anyone here with chronic fatigue? I really love what I do and I don't want to give up but this has me wanting to just curl up and cry.
