Fibro is kicking my butt today. I suspect all the stress lately has triggered it.
Saw my pdoc yesterday. Have I mentioned I love my pdoc? Not in a romantic way, it's that he is so damned good at what he does.
He agreed that the recent episode when I smelled my father's beery odor and physically got tense was a flashback. He told me flashbacks can happen many, many years after something happened. (I knew that, but it was reassuring to hear him say it.) We agreed I'd done all the right things when it happened.
We had a long talk about what's going on at work. He was almost as upset as I am about what's going on. He also confirmed something I've been hearing through the grapevine, that this is the new "normal" in the profession if you work for an agency. Gawd, I hope I can hold on for three more years.
He had an interesting perspective about the changes at work. He said it's like I am grieving how the agency used to be (focused on helping kids). I laughed and said I thought I was stuck in the anger stage.  I'm going to give this some thought. It feels right though.
