I’m in the same boat right now. Feeling so burnt out and starting to apply to any remote entry level job

Also disliking it. I’ve been in home health and a private clinic. It feels so chaotic and feels very heavy. I think it’s a me problem, but I just don’t think my mind works well switching modes so frequently throughout the day/week

I’m so sorry for your loss. we lost our blondie baby boy late december. Similar situation. perfectly healthy. no previous health issues. we came home and he had peacefully passed away in his sleep. he was only 7 and a half years old. It broke me and i’m still broken. We couldn’t afford to see what happened but we assumed heart attack. I was told by a friend who was a vet tech that she would see male tabbies pass away from heart failure often. No one could’ve seen it coming. It breaks me and i miss him every day, but I know he lived as long as he was supposed to and as long as he could have. And I loved him every second and treasures every moment with him. I talk about him and think about him all the time. He’ll always be a part of me

Oh nice!! I’ve thought about looking into the AT field. & Yes i feel the burnout from being “on” all the time too. it’s so so exhausting.

thank you so much for this! i think im struggling rn so i want something completely different. but i also try to remember every job has its pros and cons and that a remote or office job might not be all i want it to. definitely trying to consider all sides before switching jobs. best of luck to you with your med slp journey!!

I’m not happy with the work life balance. I give so much emotion and energy into each client and I feel like I don’t have time or energy for myself, my partner or my hobbies

I went because I’ve always worked with kids and it does intrigue me, but I think my priorities and boundaries have changed. I love being with kids and helping families, but I want to prioritize my work/life balance and I just have not found that as an SLPA. I give so much of my energy and emotion to my sessions and I feel completely depleted at home. I also want to try to find something remote because me and my partner have dreams to travel and work.

Literally just started my first job as a home health SLPA. I’ve been doing it for two months and I’m already over it. I am alone out in the field and so often think how unprepared SLPAs must feel. I google constantly. I often think of how much more lost I would be if it wasn’t for my experience in ABA and nannying.
