I just resigned from my toxic patient. I feel relieved now, and happy once again. I’ll finally have time to write again. These past few days have been incredibly difficult for me. Taking care of this impossible patient left me so mentally drained that I no longer had the energy to even get out of bed. Every day, I wanted to cry, exhausted, both mentally and physically.
I’ve always cared deeply for my patients, hoping that in the final moments of their lives, they would find comfort. But this last patient... he drained me completely. I understand that he’s a patient, but his touchiness and inappropriate attachment crossed a line. I knew I had to let him go.
Now, I feel relieved and at peace.
