I found out about it from one of my head managers at a workshop dealing with non-violent crisis intervention- blew me away.

In a battle between England and France (don't remember which one, there have been so many - but around 1100 sometime), the French threatened to cut off the middle finger of all of the captured English archers.  (the middle finger is very important to pulling the bowstring.  without it, one can not get a good hold on the string and can not exert the force needed to pull 150 lbs to fire the arrow)\n\nWhen the battle began, the English archers showed them their middle finger as a response.\n\nI saw something about it on the History Channel a few months ago.

Same here. I'm feeling great a while ago before my manager started flingin' his anger and stress at me for no good reasons at all.

Anyone who has worked in the mental health field knows what you are going through is very "normal".  No matter how many years you've been in the field (13 years for me) you can never get too much PEER SUPERVISION.  Talking to other counselors about client cases is the only way to stay sane and of course we always have to have a little behind the scenes humor as well!

It may seem cruel but perhaps the "cruelty" of your statements is the dynamite that opens the minds of people.

I think you took one too many blows to the head...it's affected your decision-making skills...I recommend an intervention!!

I actually threw a program similar to the challenge day program and I ended up learning about other cultures. I left the program feeling more informed and very aware of how important tolerance is. I was proud that I'd put together an event that allowed people to have an open forum and talk openly and honestly about so much. It changed me a lot. Oh and BTW this was before I ever knew that there was a program called challenge day we simply wanted an open forum but it was very similar to the challenge say program.

I was president of my youth group, and I got tired of car washes and babysitting for money.  So, I decided to just ask people for money.  I sat down with them and told them about what we were doing and how we would use the money.  People were very willing to make a donation!  I was really surprised.  I use this for a lot of causes and it really works.

This has made more sense to me than most questions I`ve read today.

Yes I went through the same thing.  I found at that point there is nothing you can do.  Although you probably never deserved to be in this sitution I find that usually people need to gang up on one person and bully them.  It is not acceptable.  I went on meds because of it and when I was done working there I came off of the meds.  Management was involved in this case and I was approached by a laywer to sue these people.  I choose not to, the reason being that it would have cause more stress.  I now have a better job with better pay and I no longer take meds.  Please hang in there.  Start looking for a new job right now.  They cant fire you without a just cause, worse come to worse you will be asked to leave with two weeks pay.  But find a new job, being unhappy is not worth it.

Yes- I witnessed a pedestrian get hit by a car - people just stared at me for a minute - I knew first aid so I was barking orders for someone to PLEASE call 9-1-1.  Finally someone re-focused and rad to a nearby plaza to call.  Luckily an off duty paramedic drove by and stopped to take over.  I was relieved because the man appeared to be going into shock on me and I wasn't confident that I really knew what I was doing!
