Am I dumb because of this?

[Anonymous]

I work in a hospital as a CNA. I had previous experience in a nursing home. I am sitting with a 1 to 1 tonight. She hits me, called me ugly lol and tries to get out of bed. She's a larger lady, she found a space she got both legs out. And I was over there infront of her bending down so she wouldn't get out. I yelled for help and the nurses were running in. We have camera in the room where a telesitter watches at all times. But it went off to warn other staff to come in. Am I dumb? I felt offended like the telesitter didn't think I was competent to call for help when I did. Am I overthinking this? Im 25 and am struggling with my career path and im lost. I take things so sensitively. I passed the CNA test, do I have a intellectual disability? Am I dumb or incompetent? There's nurses MY AGE and there's one 23 and im 25. Wouldn't they have found this intellectual disability by now? Even if it was borderline?

You’re still asking this question? Do you work at the VA or something? You need to seek psychological counseling. Not trying to offend you but none of us can answer this question for you. There’s a reason why you think like this that someone professionally trained can help you figure out. The telesitter isn’t the one sitting there, so if you feel unsafe call for help especially if she is bigger than you. Why do you feel lost w your career path? You feel like you should be something else by now?

You overthink this way too much. No, the telesitter don’t think you’re dumb. They saw an incident and called for help to help you. To protect you as soon as possible before something happened. What were they gonna do? Sit there and watch you struggle? How nice of them then huh? That would probably have put them in trouble because aren’t they supposed to call for help if they see something happening? Why else would they sit there? Come on now. Nobody thinks you’re dumb other than yourself and you’re projecting so much. You need to get help for your low self-esteem.

How old is the lady? Well it's not normal for patients to hit you and insult you.
