Mentally and physically exhausted working healthcare

So not to give too much information (confidentiality and all that) I work in a Type 2 behavioral home and I myself have some mental health issues. I'm not one to quit a job because the job is hard, because the job isn't hard. I admit there are some days where physical violence triggers me, and I just have to take it. It's LITERALLY in my training to just take it. I've been abused, that's not an option as a first thought for me. Lately I've been dealing with something that was my fault and triggering. Traumatic experience and I haven't been in my right mind in 3 months. I've been working on healing but it's not easy when I work here. I live alone since I moved out of my sisters apartment and this is hard, I'm trying to adjust, going to therapy, the works. But I get triggered…


So not to give too much information (confidentiality and all that) I work in a Type 2 behavioral home and I myself have some mental health issues.
I'm not one to quit a job because the job is hard, because the job isn't hard. I admit there are some days where physical violence triggers me, and I just have to take it. It's LITERALLY in my training to just take it.
I've been abused, that's not an option as a first thought for me.
Lately I've been dealing with something that was my fault and triggering. Traumatic experience and I haven't been in my right mind in 3 months. I've been working on healing but it's not easy when I work here. I live alone since I moved out of my sisters apartment and this is hard, I'm trying to adjust, going to therapy, the works. But I get triggered so often and I haven't been sleeping, it's a lot. I'm afraid to quit because of the money, this is one of the best paying jobs in my city, and I also don't want to leave my coworkers to have to deal with all of this their selves. Especially after I told my supervisor I wouldn't quit because she said she needed me. I know I can leave when I want but it's hard. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Tl;dr: stressed about working in mental health care with mental health and money issues any advice?
