Some people think I’m unshakeable, but they don’t see the cracks I’m holding together just to get through the week. Curious if others ever feel like they’re carrying more than they let the world see?

Careful. I let it go on too long. Did you know your body can just one day stop working?? I knew but I didn’t know. It was so sudden. One day I’m working playing sports biking everywhere. Next day bam. I couldn’t walk anymore and start everything from freaking scratch. There is a diagnosis. But the diagnosis is a consequence ….. ultimately it was years of severe stress and trauma that wasn’t properly released or tended to that finally caught up with me. Sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself is to fall apart (not completely) so your body can release it. If you’re too good at holding it together it might catch up with you.

I noticed that this week. I grew up in a family that only allowed one emotion, happy. My boss was like I can’t tell when something is going badly because you are so positive all the time. Yikes!

For sure! But that’s also a choice. We can choose to be vulnerable. Sometimes it takes setting more boundaries with ourselves…about what we take on. I say that from personal experience!

Thanks for your response

I’m looking for a new job!!

I’m so checked out and looking for a new job and manager that I can learn from and will help me grow, any help is appreciated!
