For the past 4 years I have worked as a home health aid to 2 paraplegic patients. I love my job, but I am at a point where I am just really stressed and burned out. One of my patients is incrediblY controlling and micro manages me. I know she means well but 4 years of that constant pressure and woreload is starting to take a toll on me. Pair that with me having days off that are spread out (mon/wed) always working weekends and housesitting for them a couple times a month and it just leaves no time to spend with my loved ones or even just unwinding my mind. There are 2 other coworkers. They have been here a lot longer than I have, but I feel like I have proven to be a good and valuable worker. I am just feeling like I get the short end of the stick. All that stress is getting to me and spilling over into not only my work performance but my personal life as well. I need advice. I do not want to quit, but I need a break and I am just not getting it.
