I’ve been in healthcare for 5 months.
I took on the position of activity director, hired without the right credentials, but i didn’t know what I didn’t know.
Cue my set up for failure a success.
I did a wonderful job despite having no assistance from admin, the facility, or anyone actually. I got loads of lovely compliments from the residents all the time.
But when that admin quit and the facility was sold, the interim admin essentially told me I was being demoted.
I tried.
For 6 more weeks, I gave it everything I had.
But I was already entering autistic burnout which is almost impossible to get out of unless you change your circumstances.
So I got a new job in a profession I’ve worked in before and love, and I put my two weeks in last Friday.
Y’all, I am trying.
But I feel like I’m slogging through quicksand with cement boots on.
Every day is becoming harder and harder to get through than the last.
I want to make it through for my residents but I don’t know how.
How do you make it through?
