Perspective.

Posted on January 22, 2007 by Megan

I just had a long conversation with a more senior union rep and friend about what happened last week in QCC. She pretty much told me I had to get counseling now because she thinks that I’m responding as though I’ve been in a critical incident situation – which makes sense given the way I was triggered when I was there and how I’ve felt since. Trauma girl indeed.

I’m not coping especially well today, despite the fact I slept well last night. I have an appointment for tomorrow with our workplace counseling service. This is the first time I’ve ever needed counseling arising from a union situation – and I’ve dealt with some pretty heavy scenes with members in the past.

At least it gives me some perspective on why I seem to be more acutely triggered about other things the last few days, and also why I’ve been having trouble eating. I’m going out now to buy healthy food in hopes that I will eat salad and feel better.

i highly recommend a trip to the juice place, i often find when i’m feeling like i’m streaching really thin that something with beets and carrots and apples and ginger will make it seem like i can breath again.
