I loved my clients and I didn’t want to leave them, but I just was so tired of doing back to back +16hr shifts catering to 8 people’s every need while also trying to protect them and myself from being hit by an increasingly violent, +200lb 5’10 male client during his hours long meltdowns. It got so bad, every time I slept, I dreamt I was at work, sometimes being hit in them
