Just sad.

I know you hear it every day: the sad, depressed single chick. But I wanna know how others get out of their funk so here is a little about me:
I am a single Mother of 2 and currently 24 weeks pregant with a baby boy which I could not be more excited about but lately I'm just really down, frustrated with work.. frustrated with everything. You see I'm a 3rd shift CNA and it's really trying sometimes working 10pm-6am and taking care of a 7 and 5 year old on my own, I've tried talking with my employer as I was promised 1st shift 2 years ago but it gets me no where. What I think is maybe I need to make some changes and try to find a new job but I'm scared to move on.. I cry all the time and I'm sooo stressed and extremely overly exhausted. Has anyone else ever been this much of a mess while pregnant? How'd you get through it? I'm on my own here...

Yes def look and call around for another facility to work at. If your area has a lot of SNFs it may be easy to find one that will better accommodate u

I know how you feel I'm not a single woman anymore but I do how ever have a child by a previous relationship I felt the same way. since I met someone new an we both work 3rd most times we talk about wanting an needing to go on first shift especially if we're trying to plan for a baby... I personally been looking for another job or thinking about going first shift there. He is how ever waiting on a 1st shift job to call him. That's your best bet... your better than you think. You deserve a better for your lifestyle.. i know it isn't easy but I respect you for being strong enough to keep everything going... ! Bless you

I say trust God and start looking for another position.  Don't make anyone make you feel as if you have to stay somewhere.  Start looking for another position. I know it's hard at times but it want always be hard. Be encouraged!

if you're not given your day shift as promised, you may consider switching jobs if possible. but dont quit one job before you have another one in hand.

I am not a single mom so I don't know what to tell you on that but where I live almost all the nursing homes are hiring day shift. Try looking for a new job on days somewhere especially if you were promised days. I know I keep a little smile on my face these daye because when I got to work I keep saying less than 4 shifts to go. I am counting down to be a stay at home mom.
