I used to work in a adult day care center, and next to it t was a psychiatric hosp. The personal from that unit used to have lunch together
in their facility. During a crisis I had to be hospitalized in the same hosp,
i was scared ,terrified, and I did not know how to even look at them.
I had two option or never get out of the hosp or deal with it. I'm not saying it was easy, let me tell you... I cried like a baby during days.
I did'nt want to go into the dinner room of the hosp, I didn'twant to see no one.
I had to take the option of taking care of myself.
Right now don't care about what people may say, if not what great
opportunity I have to help others

only to find out yesterday that my clinical assignment is in the same hospital as I was hospitalized in the psychiatric wing _myself_..
I know people will see me in my scrubs and see, justa nurse, a sweet nurse with my broad smile..
Yet deep down i am so out of focus with this...I am a nurse with a story, a nurse, with a past................................  a rainy past...
