Not Coping

I get that, but she can't be acting like this, especially how she does it in front of the patient. They shouldn't have to hear her being rude and obnoxious the whole time they are waiting. Let alone me. I come home crying. I feel it's a trigger from when I was bullied at school @Zoe7. It's just hard being around her, but I guess it is what it is then.

I like to cook so many things. It was easier at home as I had a kitchen aid, a better oven and more room. I still bake here and there. When I was at home, ice cream was fun. Really I like to cook a lot. You know I'm enjoying it when I start to hum lol.

Though when I'm down like this, there isn't really anything that is fun @outlander

@Birdofparadise8 We can only control our own thoughts and actions Hon. No it is not right what she does but it is also not your problem ...it is hers. If your show your care and respect for everyone then that will shine through - and no doubt those you are working with will see it and very much appreciate your care. We can rise above these things by being the best we can be ...and let those who do not have the same attitude or care wallow in their misery themselves. You may even find that being nice, respectful and caring rubs off on this worker a little. As a very wise person once said - be the change you want to see.

Mmm, I guess so @Zoe7 it's just so annoying. I'll just have to let it go. Nice quote by the way.

Yeah, I know @outlander it's just so hard. I don't think I'll be doing that out of my uni kitchen, and I don't have the time, but yes, I do like cooking so maybe it could be something. I suppose it's finding the motivation first. That seems to be the biggest thing right now.

Yes it certainly can be annoying @Birdofparadise8 but one thing I have learnt over time is that we cannot change anyone else and we have to do what is right for ourselves. My favourite quote is by Shakespeare - 'this above all, to thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night, the day, we canst then be false to any man'. In other words - be your authentic self, believe in yourself and let others be who they are. The good will always shine through and if you can be that for someone else then they will appreciate it.

Yes we can't change others @Zoe7. I just need to focus on myself.

Do you like quotes a lot?

Yes your are spot on @Birdofparadise8 - just focus on yourself, your strengths, the things your enjoy and what you can realistically achieve in any situation. Sometimes our expectations are not what is achievable but if we break things down into those things we can achieve/do then that is all we can do for ourselves.

Haha - I have a few favourite quotes but much like life - just those that I can relate to.

Mmm, I'll try my best at that @Zoe7.

I think I should get ready for bed @outlander @Zoe7 thank you for your support and help today. I really appreciate it.
