You're a Human Being. You Don't Have to Keep Doing This.
Monday, January 14th
During morning meditation, I spoke to my Spirit Guide Somoya. I asked her what I needed to know for today. I then heard an internal voice say, "You're a human being. You don't have to keep doing this."
I naturally feel this pertains to work. I have been working 5 years on inpatient psych. Prior to this, I worked 5 years outpatient in behavioral health. I was told to take on this position by my director, due to my skill-set. I really loved outpatient. I was excellent at what I did for the people we served. For me, it was much less nerve racking working with individuals who are taking steps towards their recovery outside of the hospital.
I feel more stressed being around and dealing with others trying to manage their acute symptoms on the unit. People and the environment are unpredictable, leaving me on guard. For me, being on the units often is traumatizing, due to what I see and hear. The daily drama in the workplace (whether patients or staff), triggers some of my past experiences of growing up as a child.
I feel I deserve better. I don't want to keep reliving my past. I want to empower myself, by moving on to a more therapeutic and supportive work environment. Trauma equals drama, which equals overwhelming stress. I am ready to break this cycle of existence. I am worth it. I still want to be of service in our behavioral health community.
