Katherine Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 Today I was pleased with myself at work. Particularly because I was patient (and was praised for being so by the customer) and kept calm in a potentially difficult situation----I spent about an hour fixing a uni student's essay with her to print up when the library computer's version of Word messed it up- with lines repeating themselves, sections disappearing, words printing on top of each other. I really did help her and did a very good job. Especially when my manager was a bit tetchy because she wanted someone to do the banking on the other computer in the office and she couldn't when customers were in there. I stood my ground and kept my cool. I had to do my best for the customer. Priority. For someone with BPD I think I coped amazingly well..... Then this evening I feel vulnerable, fragile, withdrawn, quiet (though I yattered on interminably to my flatmate when I got in..I thought, hell I've gone manic, help...)and am going to go and curl up in my safe place very soon. I can relate this maybe to childhood feelings states of wanting praise and appreciation and recgnition, to be told thatI'm good....but I can't make people do that...and then it would be false anyway like that, not real. karie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katherine Posted March 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 thanks Tracey....praps that's why I feel extra insecure now...I always expect the carpet to be pulled out from under my feet when I stand my ground...but it wasn't, I still exist.....
