Yes, there's a lot of good in what you're saying JL, I was just ribbing you a little ;) I'm confident in my communication skills for the most part. I'm not blaming this girl in the least. I felt horrible she got some negative feelings from the communication. I never shared the whole string of...

Never been called Girlfriend before, strangely I don't mind, lol. I've been in management for like 15 years...It's pretty stressful. I took a menial job so I can focus on school. JoeyLittle says I don't know how to write, so I better stick with it.

Yeah, I vote Sammy lol Now i'm singing.

That's how I feel. I scrapped an application I had in to that department cause I like to work with fun people. I'm not tacky/tasteless, but humor is important to me. I gotta be me.

No,that's fine, I'd like to understand wth happened! lol yes, you are right about the context being a work friendship, not a letter to the shareholders, etc etc. But I personally don't believe business communications needs to be stuffy. I understand how the message I intend to send, should be...

Cool, see it in my audible account..thanks!

Daaaaaamn....that one is 45 bucks on amazon. Must be fantastic! lol..thank you. got it in my list now.

Yes, too bad I didn't get an opportunity to explain myself. Oh well..I've been looking for another job anyway. I can't work somewhere without humor.

Hahaha...Yeah, she's about 25 and Im 44, so perhaps that's the case!

thanks Crowfeather, I thought I had some Levine, cause I've heard good things, but turns out I have 3 of his books in my amazon wish list. I need to get them paid for. Thank you. I haven't heard of Siegal yet though, thanks, I'll take a look now.

First book my T suggested was "The Four Agreements" - by Don Miguel Ruiz. I love it so much. I read it, (listened via audio book), a fifth time last night when I needed a check. Calms me down and reminds me whats important.

thats a good point. How did I forget about libraries? haha. I have an Audible account and work alone, so I listen to audio books about 3-4 hours a night. It passes the time. In my Audible package, I get two books a month, unless I pay for more, which I do. What I can't find on Audible, I buy...

Yeah, T and I talked about it today. Everyone I ask is confused. That's all we can come up with. the "wink" has gotta be it. She has never heard that term. Sorry you're so sheltered ms. uncomfortable! lol

Yes, I would go. I was considering that just before I found this site. I'll stay here for now due to that fact. I needed other points of view more than anything. What other have going on, how they deal, what they take for meds, etc etc. Been alone with this so long, I didnt know i had...

Those look like great suggestions, thanks! Particularly the dialectical one..i'm on that for sure. I do have a therapist, and just got back from a session. She has some good suggestions, but she misses a lot of books. I like to share my finds with her as well. Thanks again for the tips...

Sound advice. However, I knew this girl. She worked in my building with me two summers. Thought we got along too. Strange.

yes thank you, The Body Keeps the Score was a great book! I remember the Dr. writing in depth about EMDR. My T and I are somewhat skeptical of it, but considering it. I also remember Somatic Therapy, but don't really understand it well enough yet. CBT of course is standard and I'm told I'm...

I'm really enjoying "Heal your PTSD - Dynamic Strategies that Work" Michele Rosenthal, at the moment, I'm tied between this one and "The Body Keeps the Score".

I've read 6 of the 7 ptsd and/or self help books i've bought this past month, and most of which discuss what ptsd is. Can someone recommend a book discussing what now to do about it? (therapies, etc etc). Thanks.

That is heartbreaking. Welcome to the group, Fuma.

Lol! Made me a little uncomfortable reading it back to myself!

By that I mean, I don't mean to continue working here! Gotta clarify in this day and age!

The Concerta has got to GO! i'm freaking out for the most part with anxiety.. called for emergency appointment tomorrow. Doc said stop the Concerta. Hate this feeling. I'm disappointed.

Thats exactly what this feel like, Eve. It's a school district. But, not for much longer if I can help it!

I swear, workplace behavior is important, but c'mon. Let's not take ourselves so seriously, right? A workplace without humor is not somewhere i'd like to work.
