Haven’t been on here for a time. Every day is the same. I work in healthcare trying to hold everything together because I’m “essential”. I don’t think I am, I don’t think anyone else is doing their jobs. So daily I get to enjoy potential exposure, irate patients and people yelling at me why they can’t visit. Everyone else is on unemployment, bringing in more money than I am, and getting whatever medication they want while I can’t get one medication to get me through the day without wanting to lash out or weep.

What do you mean no one is doing their jobs?
It is a very tough time for essential workers. I thank you for doing what you do.
I’m doing things that aren’t my job in any way while a department exists for said job as they sit on their ass, whether out of laziness or fear I’ve no idea.
I've learned through a long career that it's best to only pay attention to our own work ethic. Not everyone is going to work the same.
The rest is up to management to sort out.
Consider either talking to people you know on Ward or your Ward Manager to how you feel.
I always used to get annoyed when I was an Engineer.

It's got to be so hard, doing what you do, showing up and making life better for the rest of us with little thanks. And the stress of possibly getting sick is always there.
I'm glad people like you are there for us!
Hi there, I'm also in the health care system. For my job. I work in the dental field. I feel what you are going through and I agree the anxiety of it all is outrageous. This is my first day on here and I see so many people with similar feelings. I myself have a fire inside because people on unemployment are making more than us. I take xanax everyday just to get through the day and hope I don't end up getting a migriane!
