No I left that group home awhile ago to cover my ass. Lol

I transferred to another in January with management and staffing issues. I got overworked, my mental health declined, and I started to dip in performance. I was putting clients into behavior, slacking, and crying, having anger outbursts and I had like two panic attacks on the job.

I finally put in a transfer request, but I laid down and fell in and out of sleep on the couch on the fourth and I’m fired now.

it’s gross misconduct. You have to be an idiot to do that. I got what I deserved. I’m kicking myself for not solving the problem in time. Or like not calling out in the fourth as I should have

I’m applying for the grocery store again and maybe if I have the energy I’ll start selling stuff and making things like tie dying again for extra money. I intend to go back to health care but not at this time. I need time off

“I am very upset with you right now Lexi. You’re a fucking asshole! You’re being a stupid bitch! I’m very disappointed in you!”

those are the very last words I heard from my favorite client. I was agitated, holding back tears, laid on the couch refusing to eat dinner with them. It set him off, understandably. He kicked a shower chair. I had to be sent home.

I was on my way to getting fired. I couldn’t do my job anymore. People were texting me concerned I was spiraling/miserable. It’s just the shittiest feeling in the world. I ruined my chances to move in the company due to my refusal to help myself or solve the problem

knowing what you should do doesn't necessarily mean that ur awful for not doing it. behaviour has a lot of reasons and being "lazy/idiot" is not true and usually there are reasons, like unresolved issues causing them.

be kind on ur self, you acted as you did because that's all u know how to and the past is in the past.
focus on a plan to fix the problem.

good luck, <3

Nah I knew better. I’m pushing 30 (senior vp user). This isn’t my first job. Nor is it the first time my mental health has caused me issues on the job. I kept my last job cuz it was a shitty grocery store job and no one cared. Caregiving is a little different.

I can’t go back tho. All I can do is actually learn my lesson this time instead of repeating the same mistakes. Everyone knew I was going to run into issues if I didn’t solve the problem and I just so happened to try to resolve things until it was too late.

well, i used to say the same things to myself and overtime realised that in fact, i didn't know any better.self blame never helped me personally and it made things worse. what helps is realizing that your problems are out of control rn and you need professional help.
remember that confronting the problem is really hard esp when ur at rock-bottom.

I can’t do anything else but move on from here, I know. Still feels like shit, especially because everyone watched me burn out. Embarrassing
