So I'm still in collage, doing a community worker degree, and I'm in my third week of placement.

I'm having two issues really. One is that I'm chronically tired to the point of popping caffeine pills and drinking too much tea, but the other is the strangeness of having a mental health issue - being where my clients have been including almost coming to this organization - and being on the other side of it. Listening to the workers talking, and knowing that none of them know even a little bit about what I've gone through.

I know where I'm working is a very accepting place, centred on taking care of people with MI, but for mental health workers they don't know as much as I though they would about MI! They're not rude or anything, but there is misinformation there I didn't expect to see. I can't bring myself to tell them about me, even if I need a break or I'm anxious about the task they set for me that day, and I can't bring myself to correct the misinformation.
