Me talking to Kurra

Me talking to Kurra

So it's been a rather challenging week eh?
R U OK?

No I'm not but I'll be fine. I've just go to pull my head in and bust my gut working to the very best of my ability.

R U using work as an escapism?

Yes I guess I am but it's better than any other alternatives.

What alternatives?

Like losing the plot completely.

Is there any risk of that happening?

No not really. I've reached out to the people that should help me and I've also contacted the people who really will help me and who genuinely care about me.

So have you thought about how you're going to manage your wounded emotions?

Sort of. I've got a bit of work to do to get to thst point.

Is there anyone else or anything else you can think of that will help you rise above this repeated series of incidents?

Well yes and no. I'm not sure I really want to go that way. I always seem to cause trouble. Maybe I'm just a trouble maker.

Shoulder shrug - it's not really that important anyway. I'll be fine. I'm a survivor. I've even got an HD in my Survival unit.

Lousy @Former-Member.
There was no meeting although I have another tomorrow that may well have a lot more clout behind it. It doesn't matter really. I'm at the don't care, give up stage.
Thanks for caring.

You take care of yourself. Remember just one little thing at a time makes everything much easier. 💕

Re: Me talking to Kurra

So sorry to hear that @Kurra. I really hope they don't postpone that meeting and follow through with it until there are real and tangible outcomes. I can imagine you feeling like crap and giving up at the moment but I reckon when it comes time you'll find the resources to stand up and be counted. For now I guess it's just that horrible cliche time of just taking care of you and being kind to yourself. I'm home and holding my own for now. Nearly lost it before when I was sitting in my car trying to compose myself to drive home and the parking inspector tried to give me a fine. I burst into tears telling him I was just trying to be safe and survive. He panicked and let me off. It was all true, I nearly had two accidents on the drive home but made it home safe. Hang in there @Kurra 💜😊

Re: Me talking to Kurra

I'm glad you're managing to calm yourself better now. That initial devestation you described in the car I feel may partially shock and the remainder exhaustion. I got the impression that you opened up more than you have previously. I know when I've done thst I end up feeling more vulnerable than O normally would
Just try to remember that this is all part of a longer process. Ultimately you will find the benefits far outweigh the way you've been feeling this afternoon.
You can do this @Former-Member. I know you can and I've got every faith that in the end you will come out triumphant. 💕👏👏💕

I forgot to add a thanks @Kurra. It's reassuring that you think I can do this. Im wishing you all the best for tomorrow. Keep us posted regardless of what happens. I'll be thinking of you and crossing fingers that the meeting happens and is done professionally. 💜😊🍀

Re: Me talking to Kurra

I'm utterly terrified @Former-Member and very subdued tonight. I wwas in bed by 7.30 tonight.

Oh well - tomorrow is a new day. A chance to pick myself up and move forward rather than wallowing in my own misery.

Thanks for all your support at a time when you too are struggling.

Take care and sleep peacefully. You've taken a massive step in the right direction today.
G'night. I'm going to try to sleep now 💕💤💤

Re: Me talking to Kurra

Hey @Kurra. wondering how you are. I'm really hoping you are ok. How did it go. Here for you if you need or even if you don't need but just want to share. Also here for you if you don't want to discuss, guess I'm just letting you know I'm here for you💜💐

Re: Me talking to Kurra

Thanks lass, @Former-Member

The meeting went exceptionally well. It's good to feel and to know that you have been heard. It's been a much better day and it looks as if I may have another job. Same organisation but in a different area. It will mean returning to 24 / 7 shifts but I've got no problem with that.

I see my psychologist tomorrow which is good. I believe he'll be reasonably pleased with the way I've managed to handle the situation.

I gather you're doing it tough. Am I able to help in any way? Here for you lassie 💜💕🎶

Re: Me talking to Kurra

That's put one of the few smiles on my face today @Kurra. Really pleased it went well. It's great things seemed to be working out for the better. Looks like it has been worth all your sweat and tears. I was so hoping for a good outcome. 💜😊

dont worry about me @Kurra. Think I need to dig deeper and find some @Kurra in me. I've been behaving like a baby me thinks. definately not deserving of any sympathy at the moment.
