The proverbial hundred eyes(and then some) of Argos are on this.

Take some time to yourself, eat, sleep, maintain your friendships/relationships.

It's not uncommon for even the police to rotate their investigators when it comes to pedophillia cases, for the very reason of giving them a chance to rest and collect themselves - alongside avoiding the risk of indoctrination. This is heavy shit and even those with a strong fortitude can find themselves broken by it, stay strong friend.

What is "the risk of indoctrination"?

argosciv ago

What I was referring to there, is the risk of an (undercover, usually) investigator being exposed to "this side of the coin", for so long(without a proper break) that they begin to loose sight of who they are, versus the persona they must maintain for the investigation.

As clarified by @Chance903 though, It's more about keeping the investigator 'sane' in terms of preventing them from hurting themselves or illegally harming suspects(understandably, it must be nerve wrecking to be that close to 'the enemy', while not being in a position to exact a particular form of justice upon them).
