High point/low point

[LuckiLee]

What was the high and low of your day?

My high point was hearing my Dad laughing at the dumb "Dad Jokes" book I got him. Music to my ears.

My low was seeing J sad because his kids didn't call him today. We knew they wouldn't but it is still heartbreaking.

My high was my mom coming round and spending time with me. My low was staying up really late lonely.

High point would be this evening curled up with my dog’s and listening to awesome music.

Low point would be listening to a song about a dad sung by a girl who is near the age I was when I lost my dad.

High point was running and not being triggered by it, and saying hello to a fellow runner.

Low point was most of the day having feelings and not knowing what to do.

Ooh what's the dumb book I wanna hear aall about Dad jokes book :sneaky:

High point was sleep & finding a NGO that works that shit.

Low point was... stand by, imma think bout that when I can actually *think.* :sleep:

High point: starting a new job that I think I’m really going to like.

Low point: missing my doggies at said job ?

 

[RubyBlue]

High point: a full day of work, load of laundry, extra little self care hygiene items that I always put off, and cleaned about half of my room. So relatively accomplished.

Low point: learning that 911 calls could very well be a part of my job and I really don’t know that I can handle it. 911 is tied into some trauma and it’s a tangled web I’ve avoided like hell in T and now it’s coming to slap me in the face.

Is there a part of it that's *least* trauma tangled, that you could use as an exposure / therapy starting point, and/or do with success work in, @Annalyn78?

Alternatively, skills learned & applied in other areas that could be transfered over to 911 work while it remains a mental minefield, until that can stabilize or be processed?

Some times passion postpones PTSD and action shuffles anxiety.

Also, I feel similarly around calling 999 (UK) here. But I did a paramedic placement as part of my training where 999 calls are basically their job :laugh: I think it's different doing something as a job and personally, like as a job it's just "this is what I do in this situation", it's hard, but it's not calling-911-yourself hard. Your job is the same. Just type what is said. Speak to people about it if you have to afterwards. But all you need to do in the moment is type it up. Same as everything else.

My low for today was dealing with a rude coworker.

My high point is a full belly and now going to relax with J and watch a movie. ?


To @Ronin. What happens when the fog lifts over Los Angeles?? U.C.L.A.

 

[RubyBlue]

Low point: a couple of calls at work, one dealing with a death (not my family but difficult to hear nonetheless) and one with one of their rudest people I’ve ever heard.

High point: eh it’s Friday? I actually can’t really find a high point today. I’m struggling.

Low point was when I was having an infected toenail removed and other foot started dancing all around in circles all of its own accord. I was so embarrassed.

Highpoint was when I got home and could rest.
