every one of my triggers pulled today: i have no triggers left !
A woman, almost my mother's age, comes to me several days short of being kicked out of her friend's house ... the only option is to refer her to the shelter system
I call 9-1-1 for police to escort an unruly man who is blocking the only entrance to the building and verbally threatening physical violence on both staff and clients.
A mentally ill man asks me if he can take 20 pills of acetaminophen to increase the likelihood of his chronic pain as though he were really about to do it.
A homeless man I engage with who has terrible hygiene leaves a stench so potent that I can smell it in my nostrils an hour after I have made sure he receives medical attention.
I find out a client of mine was kidnapped last weekend and held hostage for 3 days in a project building in the Excelsior.
Another client describes to me how he was punched several times by his boyfriend in his house and minimized the assault to the police by saying he just grabbed his shoulder. He told me how he wants to drop the temporary restraining order as soon as they go to court next week.
I contain myself and hope to find the capacity to cry soon!
