Vent and then let it go...

[Guest_1055]

Not sure about anyone else but sometimes I just need to vent, including venting any frustrations, fears, hopes, worries, longings and anything else. Most of the time I don't want any advice or any responses. Just need a way to get it all out from within me.

So thought this thread could be for those sort of things. No one replys to you with words or anything. It's a place to let it all go. Just dump whatever it is you want to say and leave it here.

So yeah no replys please.

Hi Tony WK and All,

Thanks for your comments, I appreciate your thoughts and suggestions.

I'm working in an establishment where masks are mandatory as are flu vaccinations to gain entry. People can provide a Drs letter stating that are unable to wear a mask for what ever reason or unable to have a flu vaccine.

It is not acceptable for people to stand there yelling and cursing at me because they don't feel the need to wear a mask nor have a flu vaccine, as it is their choice.

In my work place it is Government legislation for people to follow these rules. I have been threatened with a huge fine if I do not ensure people abide.

I'm only trying to do my job as are any other workers trying to keep Government legislation. Provide a letter of explanation if you can't wear a mask or be flu vaccinated. Don't take it out on the people trying to do their job. I don't want to cop a fine worth thousands of dollars and loose my job because one person can't provide a letter of explanation.

My thoughts are with all those who are unable to adhere to present rules and regulations. I hope you can easily secure documentation to cover yourselves. It is a difficult situation for people on both sides.

I can't speak for all medical service providers, but the very first time I asked for medical documentation for waiver from the mask I was told that the standard policy was "no".

Didn't matter that i vomit, feel dizzy, and have been sexually assualted.

No. Us doctors have been told policy is to not provide that letter is what the young GP told me after I wept just for him to look inside my mouth for a check up.

Dear Tony

You are asking if we are magnets?

Unfortunately we are. This is the law of the jungle. The stronger eats the weaker. It is in our animal instinct to want to control other being. And it is even more so cruel, that humans use the developed intellect and cognitive abilities to think of ways to do it even more painful. It has been so for centuries, and it will be so in the future, unless people start treating others with respect and as rightful human beings, no matter gender, age, skin colour, beliefs, or whatever else.

Sorry, I got a bit catastrophic. But when someone is quiet, they become an easy target for bullies, who need to prove their whatever BS (to cover their own insecurities sometimes?). Why not just live and let live?

Count it as my venting. I am recently so angry and upset around the subject of discrimination, that I just cannot express it with enough words. But I don't want to let it go. I would like to act, do something to make impact and enhance the change. But I don't know how. I know I will not change the world, but for me, the silence encourages the violence. If the wrong-doing is not called out, it will continue.

david'n'golith,

I'm sorry you have experienced hassles with the Dr while trying to gain an exemption from wearing a mask due to your trauma.

That must make trying to navigate every day life so much harder.

It would be nice if we could show a little more respect to each other.

I understand frustrations and anger when we are not in control of a situation. Taking it out on others is not fair. It happens.

Hope you meet some understanding people along the way as well!

Regards from Dools

Lately:

Frustration, pain, confusion, Tense, jumpy, jittery, sadness like grief, fearful, like I can't contain all this and continue to stand on my own two feet. One moment I am, the next I'm not, then I find a little diversion, and get up again, then something else hits me

I wonder what's going on?

I open myself up, to vent these feelings, and I only feel worse.

I even want to do something to that chirping gecko !

The longing to go home is intense. So deep. An ache for the place I truly belong. I can't do this existence thing. That is not life or living. I know my Father is real and it is Him that I ache for. I have been there if for only a few minutes. Such peace, no striving only rest for my soul and being, no sadness, no heaviness, no confusion, no fights, no misunderstandings, no pain, no aloneness, no hunger or longing. All is perfectly satisfied, all is well. "Remember child you were created to be with me" You are in this world but not off it" How my soul longs for the Living God.

[Guest_1055]

Aching to go. Pain is too much. Turmoil is too much, trouble is too much, evil is too much, heavyness is too much. ITS JUST TO MUCH

[Guest_1055]

Fleeing sensation is here. To get away from the TOO MUCH. But where can I go. Traped in an existence I hate

[tranzcrybe]

Cast off your misery, and all your doubt,
For that which is in, is never without.
Heed the things you truly know:
It's better to vent, then let it go!

I feel too tired tonight. I'm sorry I can't think clearly enough to even try to answer even a few posts.

I feel like a different person when I spoke to my PDr today, & so I didn't tell him how I am feeling.

There's a couple phone calls I didn't make today, so there's a couple questions not yet answered.

I feel like I don't know what's going on. What did I just read? Whose post was that? Do they want an answer or an ear, or to have a voice of their own & a place to use it? If I wrote anything wrong, I'm sorry. I tried.

I can't say what I need to be saying.

My mind is running all over the place.
