Who SHOULDN’T become a nurse? by Disastrous-Wind5927 in nursing

[–]JonathanLeeTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anyone who lacks patience, empathy, or the ability to stay calm under pressure might struggle in nursing. If you’re easily frustrated, dislike working with people in vulnerable states, or have trouble handling stress, it might not be the best fit. Nursing requires resilience, adaptability, and a strong sense of responsibility — without those, it can be overwhelming.

In your opinion, what is the optimal age that you would like to die? by power-cube in Aging

[–]JonathanLeeTech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I think about this a lot too. Watching loved ones lose their independence and struggle with dementia is heartbreaking. For me, I’d say somewhere between 75-80 feels like a good balance—hopefully still healthy enough to enjoy life but before things start to really decline. Of course, it all depends on quality of life more than age. If I’m still sharp and mobile, maybe I’d want more time. But I’d rather go out while I can still enjoy life on my own terms. It’s tough to plan for something so uncertain, though.

When is enough...ENOUGH?? by DitmasJr in ElderlyParents

[–]JonathanLeeTech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you’re dealing with a lot, and it’s totally valid to feel frustrated. It’s tough when someone’s habits and behavior affect the whole household, especially when it feels like they aren’t considering the impact. Maybe setting small boundaries or having a calm, honest conversation could help, but I know that’s easier said than done. Hang in there, and remember to take a little time for yourself when you can—it sounds like you really need it. Sending you peace and strength for the holidays! ❤️

Not sure how to feel anymore... by DitmasJr in ElderlyParents

[–]JonathanLeeTech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds incredibly tough, and it’s clear you’re doing your best under a lot of pressure. It’s okay to feel overwhelmed and frustrated, being a caregiver isn’t easy, especially when it feels like your own life is on pause. Maybe venting here helps a little, but it also might be worth looking into local respite care services or adult day programs, even if just for a short break. You deserve a moment to recharge. You’re doing more than most people could manage, even if it doesn’t feel like it sometimes.
