Hello dear people. As a desperate step, I want to go to work in England. I'm 47 and I feel the blows of the critical. I am constantly worried, anxious. He takes antidepressants. With a little more stress I do not sleep, the next day I stagger. Is this for healthy people Can a person with a weak psyche and insomnia (under stress) cope? Someone may just laugh at the efforts of a sick aunt, but I would very much like to help my family. Please write.

Auntie (the way you want us to treat you) even though I'm 40 and I don't feel like an aunt. Your job is work, when you get hungry, your stress passes, when you are busy with work, all your mental disorders pass there, and when you have been thirsty all day, your insomnia passes like a bee. Mild mental disorders such as insomnia and anxiety are for the rich. For the poor, who agree to work as caregivers, their work and employment fill their time and they do not have time to pamper (complaining of diseases that do not hurt them to death). In some cases, the poor have no right to even complain about a broken leg, they pull the cart with the collection from the containers up the hill and forward to the point of purchase, his children's bread is more important than his broken leg. It all depends on how poor you are.
First, as a nurse, you need English. Then it depends on what you are looking for. If you are a family nurse, there is stress. If you are a nurse in a nursing home, the stress is double, because you work not only with one sick person. You want a healthy psyche, nerves and a strong ass. You judge for yourself. The era in which I live has a lot of nursing homes for people with special needs. I know a lot of young people who work as keraris and to tell you it's not easy for them. Good luck!!!
I think you'd better just clean a house. You are nervous yourself, but some sick grandparents with all the whims and inconveniences will make you even more nervous. For this you need to be calm, to have physical strength and to be able to please them. All things that will make it difficult for you once you are at this stage. And if you clean yourself, no one will hang on your head like a normal housewife at home, only with a salary. I even think that it will be easier for children to watch than for adults.
It all depends on the patient's condition. Whether he is in bed or at least little by little he can move. It also depends on how much it weighs. However, it is one thing to help a small and weak grandmother to stand up, it is quite another to help a big man. Last but not least, it depends on the character of the person you will be watching. There are some that are quite crooked and will make you crazy. There are many factors and it is difficult to find an unambiguous answer to what you are asking.
I will try to be more optimistic ... First, I will write to you. And second - 47 is a good age for this job. They work much younger, but temporarily, while they study or start something else ... It's good to have someone to help you. Close. If you don't, you have to have money. Not to pay for anything, but for falling asleep and food ... Turn to a Bulgarian mediator. Not everyone is good, but there are good ones. Read on google for everyone. You write the name and read. There will be good and bad, but most of course ... The first job will be difficult, but that's how it starts. It depends on how many people you have in the house. If you are alone with a sick person, it is easier ... In general, people are not bad, but fatigue and pain come from closing often for 24 hours with a sick person ... People say that it is very difficult, you will hear more heavy words ... Don't get caught. Many leave without your "diseases" and acquire them after that ... This is not a threat. It's just that the biggest difficulty is the closedness. The elderly and the sick are capricious, lack strength and energy and want it from you. You have to be able to take care of yourself while being kind and doing your job. They appreciate that ... I'm married here, but I know women. They have been working for a long time. There are also 60-65 year olds. Success!
It's not easy at all, it depends on where you end up. I've seen, I've heard of working as a caretaker, but most don't want to do that. If you have good bosses and an old woman / old man, maybe it will be easier, otherwise - run away. I will warn you that you should not get involved in every job that the so-called "seeker" offers you, because I have a relative and he takes a lot of money from "fish". In order to find you a job, you should not pay more than 200-250 euros. (this relative, seeing that he is on a fishing rod, wants 400-700 euros, which is a low fraud) You have to be sure before you go somewhere ... I don't work as a babysitter, but I've talked to a lot of such "babysitters".
I understand that you want to help your family, but you have not chosen the right profession. Looking at old and sick people is not easy at all and you need not only healthy physique (you may have to lift a fallen person or lift a bedridden patient in order to change shoes) and very strong nerves. I tell you from experience, although I helped our people watch my own grandfather. And yet, when she already had advanced sclerosis, there were terrible moments. Not to mention how my mom and I barely lifted him, no matter that he was supposedly a weak man. But we're both skinny women, 40 pounds or so ... so I just don't think that's a job for you. This is a job for a strong person with healthy nerves. If you are going to do something, find an easier job. For me, cleaning houses can be physically difficult, but at least you don't work out mentally. So I think that's better.
I worked in about 10 families as a nurse in BG, experience is required, but I faced rudeness and evil treatment for no reason, the humiliation is constant. Only in 3 families were brought up and correct- From 10-3. I hope it is different elsewhere ...
Author, your guard has fallen off something. It's more optimistic - and worrying and thinking all night is no use. And I'm 47 years old - I'm your set, but I have nothing from what you're talking about, and for the last time I'm convinced that everything is individual and does not depend simply on age. Much depends on the lifestyle and how one accepts things. About work .... My observations are that this is a job for physically healthy and strong people - to be able to lift, change and bathe, as well as for mentally stable people with healthy nerves and for non-crackers / emotionally rigid and disgusting (work sometimes dirty). I have a few girlfriends who worked as nurses in nursing homes (people are in a worse condition and have sisters), lying with dementia, in many cases completely inadequate, they put them in wheelchairs. There is lifting, washing, bathing, wiping, eating ... sometimes in a hurry. They complained of back pain and of their simple English colleagues. One went to the hospital for a lighter job, the other worked in a restaurant, and the third moved to the laundry, where there are no people and whims. The other type of homes are residential homes - for healthier people in good health, such as a sanatorium. There is less work there, but the probability of finding a job there is less. Working with the elderly is not easy and pleasant.
