Hello - I was wondering if any of you experience more intense emotions, crying, etc when you are flared up ? Lately, I've been feeling like I want to cry for no reason. Any input ?
Well, she's gotten to me. I have been in tears (yep--in front of her and in response to her bullying) more times than I can count.
It's been my dream to find an encore career where the environment is pleasant, my coworkers are kind, and there is a purpose to my work. I don't think that's asking for too much, but my dream is elusive. Where I am now certainly does not fit that description on so many levels!
She does know that I am dealing with health issues, but like you, I do NOT complain nor use it as an excuse. As I have had to take time off for appointments and because I'm sick, however, I felt something had to be said to make some sense of my absences. I thought, considering I work for a faith-based organization, that a little grace wouldn't be too much to ask. Apparently it is.
It's my faith that is getting me through this, so when I break down emotionally I feel I'm failing at letting go and letting God, as we say. All the way around, a terrible situation.
Gentle hugs to all of you who struggle with your emotions being right near the surface too. I pray it gets better for all of us.
