I started a new very stressful job with long commutes and long hours between three clinics. I need to be sole support since my husband had to take early retirement. These last three weeks of orientation have really exhausted me so all I do is stay in bed on my days off. I need to break this vicious cycle. I recent new nurses who were not even born when I became a nurse telling me how to give shots and do vital signs. Orientation is almost over, but how do I pull myself out of this depression? I spend my days off in bed and don't even shower, so obviously I am not having any positive experiences in the last three weeks. There is an end in site and the pay is good. But I resent my husband terribly that I am having to be sole responsibilty after 37 years of marriage--we already raised a child with autism and that was stress in itself. I see a phsychiatrist but so far nothing much has helped. I just feel so alone and helpless.
