What Are You Thinking?

[The Albatross]

I am thinking that the end of something (which used to be so devastating personally... feeling like a failure) is now more about bringing myself to balance and taking appropriate care of myself. (yay, a change, I'll take it)

I think about my bachelor thesis and that I don't know how to put it into an appropriate order.

I think I have to really pay attention to my patterns and the way my mind works.

 

[Let It Be]

I am thinking that I still need to be patient with myself over receiving that e-mail that I didn't know I would be receiving and then trying to be civil in what I replied back in a job that I couldn't wait to leave.

I am also thinking how sad it is to just forget someone, like me, who worked at this non-profit place for 30 years and now I feel like I never existed there.

It is a really common problem. People don't value the culture of an organisation and the intellectual property that goes with it. I have a friend who was devastated by what you are going through.

I am thinking no more fooling around, and get to your work!

 

[Let It Be]

@Ms Spock - Thank you for acknowledging this for me and yes, feeling devastated is such a good word. I haven't felt anything like this in a very long time.

I guess it will take what it takes to feel better and I hope the same for your friend.

 

[ms spock]

I feel for you @Let It Be, and I understand in a limited way. My friend has taken about two years get over it, and he is still not out of the woods. 30 years devoted to an organisation and then nothing - not even a thank you letter - it bowled him over.

 

[Let It Be]

@Ms Spock - I began to cry when I read what you wrote as I too, have to give myself permission as I have a feeling this is going to take me some time to deal with also.

Just too much history and then...thanks for sharing about your friend.

 

[ms spock]

I think you are wise to give yourself time @Let It Be. I think in future that management courses will teach their people how not to inflict such grievous emotional wounds. My friend struggles badly with the black dog since it happened. It is an institutional practice that causes way too much grief and pain for people. I have seen it before. It is such a waste of human life and such an appalling dismissal of decades of contributions. Many hugs and much gentle kindness to you today.

I am thinking I am having tough week this time. It's ok for me. Sometimes tough days, sometimes good days.

thinking i need to trick myself into feeling safe to let go and go to sleep.
