Question

Since last night I’ve been feeling like I’m really down. I sometimes want to cry but I don’t know why. And today I’m just feeling useless I feel like trash. I work in a hospital as a cna in the post partum unit and my position here is fairly new but I feel like I’m just scum and not needed. It’s never the nurses, they make me feel very important. But I know the reality, I’m not vital and I just feel like I don’t belong here since everyone has such an important role and here I am, changing linen. It might just be something hormonal like my period coming up but I definitely don’t great. Sorry to rant, I didn’t know who else to talk too, I don’t have friends so just wanted to be heard I guess.

Answer

You might not see changing linens as important. But you are so important to keeping the hospital running effectively. Can you imagine what would happen to patient care if no CNA's existed? Lives would be compromised due to your duties being passed on either to people not trained to do them safely or to people whose skills are needed for providing higher-level medical skills. 
Sometimes it's a CNA who says or does the one thing to brighten a patient's day. Don't let anyone tell you your work isn't vital. 
That said, if you're feeling depressed it's time for some self-care. Take a bubble bath when you get home from work, spend a little time walking on a nature trail, read a fascinating book, meditate, whatever gets you a new perspective and helps move you back to your happy place.
