JD didn't need to use an attacking tone with you, either. What a blow, especially where self criticism already exists.
Grounding techniques do help with finding inner peace. Take it from someone that needs to manage her own stress levels for the sake of her health. Physical health, that is.

I didn't consider his tone attacking at all. Didn't even cross my mind. Still doesn't. He is correct in his assessment; I was acting like a stalker. Attacking would be "Stop being such a crazy GD stalker, B!" But stating a fact and then telling me to breathe I didn't find to be attacking. I guess I took his tone to be more firm and boundary-setting. What I actually wanted weeks ago.
I used to find nursing enjoyable back when I was a tech (before I had so much crazy responsibility and everything rode on my shoulders). I like using my knowledge, and I like interacting with some of my patients. In general though, I don't feel comfortable with my level of knowledge, and I don't like having so much responsibility. That may sound weak, but I think I wish for a more simple, fulfilling life than the one I'm currently leading.
