I hurt...
One of my residents has been coming to me to talk about some extremely serious stuff. I can't even begin to explain it all! She was in my room till 2am this morning visiting/crying. I convinced her to go to Counseling and Testing this week with me. But there's some serious stuff that needs to be addressed in the meantime and she's not willing to do anything about it. I called Joey (my boss) who is in Portland right now visiting a friend. It's serious enough that I figured I should call her. I was able to leave a voice message. I'm just really worried about this girl and it's such a mess.
Both my mom and Kyle are worried about me. They don't want me to put this on myself and forget to take care of myself while helping others. I keep telling them I'm fine and that I'm working on getting someone else to help her other than me. But just in the last hour or so I'm realizing that I really don't feel okay. I feel sad and sick and I hurt. It's a different kind of hurt. I don' feel like I can get anything done, but the strange thing is I don't even care about that right now (this is very unusual for Whitney). I feel so much and yet... I feel numbed by the pain.
