Re: Just tired and depressed...//Debra V

[Guest guest]

Aw (((Debra))) I'm so sorry you are going thru this garbage at work.

Unfortunately, because we spend so much time with co-workers, we see

all sides of them - the good and the bad. Years and years ago, I

vowed not to get sucked into office " politics " . Yes, it meant I

was " out of the loop " but generally the loop involved folks doing

stuff to hurt others, if that makes sense? I was cordial, nice and

kind, but didn't get sucked in. I did my job and took care of my

customers (so well that my surveys were the main reason that our unit

was in good standing). So I know it hurts, especially when its folks

you thought you could trust. But as in most places, there are very

few you can trust with " your junk " . However, you DO have us! And we

love you, regardless of your aches and pains! So be strong, my

friend, and work hard at ignoring what is being said (even if you

have to practice the look in the mirror!). They may be jealous

because you CAN keep on keeping on, even in spite of the pain! Who

knows?

(((Hugs)))

is going to be my time of the month or something. I am just down. So

down about this disease and the disbelief of so many. (however, I

have mostly people in my life that do believe me... I am thankful for

that). But I am even more upset about the overall view of fibro and

the lack of support that many of you have. And the lack of belief

from you doctors, families, and " friends " .

crap. She does not have to say it, I know it. And on top of that, I

strongly suspicion she made a comment to one of our residents that I

am " always complaining of a headache or a backache or something " . I

am very ticked about that. It just goes to show that she thinks I am

full of it.

and is in his forties. He has lied about staff members, tries to

manipulate us, tries to instruct us on what to do with other

residents and how to do OUR job and demands things on purpose that he

knows will make life harder on the staff. He is being evicted from

the home because he has caused so much trouble and refuses treatment

most of the time. Also he has not paid anything and the home has

been footing the bill because he has MONEY somewhere and is not

eligible for any federal funding). Now why would she talk about ME

to him? What a " friend " .

> I am just stressed. I love my job except for all the stressors of

staff not getting along and people who create chaos all the time.

> I need to pull out of it. I am also so tired of never hardly

seeing my children. (of course, that will get better for a while

when they are out for summer vacation). I have to work 2pm to 10pm

because I don't even think my body would be able to handle getting up

at 4:30 a.m. to go to work. Hell, it takes me at least an hour and a

half somedays before I can function after I wake up.
