Mid week blues
Today I feel Stressed, un-worthy, ignored , and forgotten. What’s worse when your feelings are invalidated.

I'm going through the same thing with my mom right now. I gave her a boundary and she crossed it. I told her not to do it again and she did it again. I told her it upset me. She yelled. So I told her I wouldn't speak to her again until next week. I told her we both needed a time out to think about how we were acting. People will never like it when you give them boundaries. But just like kids don't like bedtimes or vegetables you have to do them anyways because its what's best for them. You cannot change their behavior, but you can change how you interact with them as a result of them not changing. I can't get my mom to stop giving out my personal information but I can stop giving her private information for her to give out.

@Anonymous That is extremely helpful. Things like this can get very messy especially when attempting to make a point. Just hoping for the best especially because it’s work related.

@Anonymous When given the opportunity to speak, it’s quickly belittled and gaslighted. I am one to think on things before I act and when it’s time to bring up small boundary requests, it is not an option

Yes it is very messy when it's work related. The best thing I was ever told about dealing with work stuff is "document everything, and get everything in writing if possible." that way you have proof if you need to go to a boss with a complaint.

Yes indeed. I’m just afraid the bullying is effecting my attendance, immune system, and positive outlook
