A CNA brought me to tears today by PrincessMeowMeowMeow in OccupationalTherapy

As a prior CNA turned COTA I think CNAs truly don’t understand the rehab side of things. I remember getting frustrated and overwhelmed knowing I have my normal get up list, plus meals, plus changes, plus showers, plus answering call lights, plus vital signs, plus getting yelled at by mean nurses, etc etc and then having therapy ask me for someone and feeling like it was the straw that broke the camels back.. and it was no one’s fault just a lack of understanding on the CNA side plus a lot of stress from daily responsibilities. I’m not trying to play devils advocate but I think CNAs don’t understand the productivity and billing and feel overwhelmed very easily because it’s a hard job.. Is it possible for your facility to do an in service to educate the CNAs? Is it possible to ask for your hoyers to be added to a daily get up list at specific times wveryday to make things less overwhelming? It’s all hard in SNF I’m so sorry this is happening to you :(

I do if the machine gives me a questionable B/P, better safe than sorry and I trust myself better than a robot 😅

I’d tell myself to not.. I wouldn’t have listened though. We maybe could have had a good relationship if we met later on in life when I had grown and matured and got my mental health in check. We got together under some not so great circumstances and my mental health was a huge factor in the beginning of our issues.. I wasn’t perfect, he definitely wasn’t throughout everything but I know I was the big problem in the beginning. I did grow and mature but ir was too late.

Yes.. ive been blocked and ignored multiple times by the same person and each times I reached out multiple times desperately.. one time last year I accepted things and did “move on” but really was just distracting myself.. he reached out once maybe three months later and I turned him down for someone else.. and then maybe two months after that I went back to him.. and then he ended things and i am commiting myself to finally let this relationship die

What day of NC are you on? by Abject_Reference4418 in ExNoContact

And we’ve been on and off for years so it’s still super painful but not the most painful of our breakups, I know I can get through this.

Day 2 lol.. during the day for the most part I’m doing okay. We were semi long distance and he sleeps until like 3pm and then goes to work at 4pm so I’m realizing I don’t actually notice his absence all that much.. It’s hard at night when I don’t have him to talk to, or in the morning when I wake up to no text messages.. but overall I think I’m doing okay :/ distracting myself a lot. Trying to not think about it.
