Re: Thoughts on how to deal with mental aspects of this

Hey I know how you feel about this bo and when it comes to your job. I also use to love going to work and got along great with the coworkers everyone pretty much liked me and wanted to be around me. I was also well liked by management and they even had me train new cowokers. Once this bo hit it was like a big change coworkers were constantly laughing at me and saying rude comments like what's wrong with her why does she smell so bad. Coworkers started avoiding me as much as they could it hurt emotionally because I would have never treated them that way if they had the same issue and me being a female made it worse I think becuase I'm also attractive and guys would sometimes give me compliments and once this bo started mostly everybody acted like they didn't ever know me. It was very humiliating I was shocked at how insensitive and mean people can be especially people who were suppose to be my friends. I use to cry constantly about this but what I've found to help me emotionally is praying to Jesus and asking him to help me deal with the everyday struggles related to this bo and I also remind myself whenever I hear a rude commnet about my bo I'm not the only one suffering with this that is why I like being able to come to this forum it is a place where I can vent and people truely know how I feel and can relate and won't think I'm crazy for feeling the way I do. I know it is easier said then done but when you hear rude comments at work etc. act like you don't here anything and try to ignore it and walk with your head high and keep your pride because sometimes when people know they are getting to you emotionally and you show them it bothers you sometimes they even do it more. I'm not saying be best friends with them but show you have pride and what they say is not gonna ruin your day. Also another thing I do is count all the good qualities about myself and the blessings I have in my life. For example the other day I had to take my dog to the vet because he was having back leg issues and I found out he had medical issues but the vet siad with proper care he should live his whole lifespan so I was very thankful to God that there was hope for him and that it was nothing very serious and that I would be able to take him home and still enjoy him as my dog. anyhow some dumb girl walked by the car I was sitting in and laughed very loud and said oh my gosh like she could not believe I smelled so bad and I just shrugged it off and kept smiling like I never heard her just thankful that my dog was gonna still live and come home with me. Now back in the day a comment like that would have put me in tears but now I'm way stronger that's the only positive thing that has come from this bo I am a much stronger person then before and I know God helps me get through it everyday. I don't cry anymore about this bo I just put it in God's hands and believe that this is only a trial and that one day I will find a solution. I hoped this helped you and I will pray for you stay strong and when times get hard remember there are many people going through what you are going through everyday you are not alone. God Bless you and take care:) Tweet
