So, we're left with each other: The damaged trying to help the damaged. I'm not sure that this is the best way. Please prove me wrong.
Omg you're so right!!!!! That's what I don't get. I understand that it's a career and that they get paid for it but you would think that they would love what they do (hopefully) for the most part. You would expect at least some devoting some voluntary time or so. I'm a nurse and some of my patients are psych patients. When I'm not at work if anyone comes up to me with their psych issues or just need to talk I'm there to listen. It's something I enjoy to do. I love to hear others and be able to help out in any way I can. I get paid for what I do but know that there's a need. Our area is very lacking in that. I usually have random people at dunkin donuts or other places approach me and they just start talking. My T said to me that when she's not at work she wants to listen no one because she has to listen to people all of the time which is two days out of the week. I found that to be sad and when she said that I was disappointed that she saw things that way. It made it seem as if she was forced to do what she did due to finances and but so Much because she really cared about what she did. I'm thinking there might be a a few Ts that due so but not many. They're used to seeing that clock and getting paid by the hour.
Thanks for this!
