Hi everyone, apologies if I've had you worried, its been a crazy morning dealing with the immediate stuff going on.


Had a really rough night, couldnt sleep from envisaging getting dragged into some kind of disciplinary due to the nonsense being shrieked during the consultation meeting, and ending up losing my job with no redundancy.

Spoke with a friend, and my boss this morning who told me that wouldn't happen, and that I should try to focus on the people who were appreciating what I was doing rather the odd one or 2 who are just lashing out in anger without any constructive points.

Went to the doc's appt who confirmed its a hernia.

Afterwards I had a long chat with the HR rep who has also confirmed that my fears were unfounded, and has confirmed that my actions are more than appropriate, and gave me some advice to respond to those individuals, which was relieving and helpful.

I'm feeling a good deal less stressed and uptight than I was, albeit still carrying a lot of it.



I want to say a huge thank you to every single one of you who replied and commented, I'm genuinely touched and so appreciative, thank you. All of your comments have rung true for me, I've often been the one making the same points to others, on here and elsewhere, but sometimes it can be really hard to see that when you're feeling pretty swamped, so I thank you all for taking the time and care to do that and help me see a bit clearer
That's the essence of it, of course. And, you know that

When we're in that primitive part of the brain, our 3 F's kick in (fight, flight or freeze. One client suggested to me that there's a 4th one, ie **** it.) That's obviously where you went.

Like I say, from today's perspective, you know what you did, and why. And that, in itself, is a great asset. Hang on to it.
