do i even want this fr??? (career question)

so i’ve been a cna for over 6 months. in that time, ive gained so much weight. i’ve been so depressed. barely caring for myself anymore. crying. depressed. depressed. depressed. anxiety attacks during and before and even after shifts. my residents love me because i am cool and easy going; it’s a front. i hate every moment in the nursing home. except actually connecting with people.

tomorrow is my last day at that job. i’m so happy, excited. the thought of never doing vitals, answering a call light, changing diapers, being responsible for 17 peoples everyday tasks is like making me feel 50 pounds lighter.

do i even want to be a nurse then? it really makes me wonder. i’m set to go to LPN school in jan 2027 and i don’t know if i should even do that…i need insight.
