Just following up:
Part of what I forgot to express here is that the work is important, and I do care deeply about my coworkers - I've been at this job for 6 years, and half of my team has been there since I started. In some ways, it makes it better, because I can be proud of what we're doing. But it also makes it harder to take time off or set those boundaries, because I know that every day I'm not on call, somebody else has to be. Every day that I'm not doing work delays improvements and makes the rest of the team's lives harder.
I try very hard to stop my normal workday at 8-9 hours and to not put in extra time on the weekends, but it's difficult to balance my own needs with both the needs of my co-workers and also with the demands of the work we're doing.
