so i am a cna in a nursing home and one of my residents today looked me in the eyes and said "please don't let me die" while they are quite literally on their death bed and it is messing with me so bad i might quit my job.

i used to be a sitter for suicidal patients. basically i would watch them for hours on end to make sure they wouldn’t try to hurt themselves. some days i would come home crying bc of how absolutely dreadful it was. i would get patients who would come back every couple weeks, some of them weren’t even teenagers yet. i ended up quitting a couple months ago, but i get this a lot. it’s not an easy line of work.
