Yesterday I was given some news at work that wasn’t very pleasant, for me anyway. Right after I heard about the changes being made starting Monday I got the worse headache. It really threw me for a loop. I am a high energy / high anxiety type of person. It had taken me many years to learn to control the anxiety and learn to turn it around to be used as anticipation for something great to happen rather than the worrisome negative feelings often associated with anxiety and fear.
Just before leaving work today I said to the others that were there “ I’m resilient, I’ve handled difficult situations up to now I can handle this one too. But I am also going to do a lot of praying, meditating, and self affirming over the weekend and come in Monday with a positive attitude “.
To which one listener said “ don’t even do that, why bother, you know it won’t last “.
Why can’t others join our parade rather than rain on it ?
A little support would sometimes be nice. If a person doesn’t want to offer support then maybe they should just hush up and wait for the fireworks. And when the fireworks don’t come and they are disappointed because they didn’t get a show and see that I did handle the situation with dignity and kept my integrity intact , then whose tune will they be marching.
Thanks for letting me vent , I hope that is allowed here.
