Please help- I love my turtle plant- I had it in the bathroom with morning east sun- then moved it to west .  
It’s barely holding on- it’s my favorite!  
I am afraid to repot- please help!

Eeeks, looks like too much sunlight and not enough water my friend. Western sun is more intense than Eastern, probably why your little turtle plant got shocked. I know it’s scary to repot, but you have to go down a pot size before you douse with water or else you risk root rot. And also to clear all the dead debris to not attract plant pests
