Being a fighter is good, yes. It has helped keep me alive this long. But a tthe same time it is exausting and I try to do it on my own. Yes, it's bad I know but it is so ingrained it's hard to fight.
Read, read, read, Start buying old as in used or library physiology books and learn. Use them on people around you. If you can learn to recognize when someone is trying to drag you into garbage you can walk around it verbally or just leave before they can accomplish their mission. Sometimes just saying, excuse me, I need to use the bathroom and vacate the area helps stop a rolling battle.
Remember Stephanie, you can\'t do it alone. You need to keep talking and keep asking and keep working toward finding someone to help. Yes, it is a fight, but it will all be worth it. Remember, your going to be a nurse. What an awesome thing for you to be. You\'ll be helping others before you know it:) Danette

Just in case I wasn\'t clear what I\'m fighting are inner demons not other people. Sorry.
