You're right. That's exactly what I need to do. But here's another dimension to my problem that's eating my head... I'm sitting at work just now, it's really quiet. Great? No. Himslef works in the same place as me, except he's days and I'm nights. No biggie. What is a biggie he's staying in work accomdation which is about 300m from where I'm sitting. The fact he's there and I can't be near him is killing me, driving me mad. The whole nature of night shift is bad enough, but to have this free time and himself so close. I think I'm cracking up, either that or about to explode.
I totally understand. Can you take sick leave and get off work for a week or two and seek counseling? Either that, or try to get out ASAP and get it all out of your system. Seems like you need a good cry, a good shoulder to cry on, and you know what I'm about to say next... I WISH I WERE THERE FOR YOU, PHYSICALLY, SO YOU COULD CRY ON MY SHOULDER, BECAUSE I WOULD LET YOU CRY AS LONG AND AS HARD AS YOU NEEDED TO. Because I really care about you...
Please find someone you can confide in, if not a counselor, then a very good friend you can be emotional with. If you can, take sick leave and get some time off. Can you transfer? Can you do anything to make the situation better?
Brian, the problem is that there is no one here I can do that with. I have folks I can talk to, but no one I can have any sort of release with. That sounds so bad, but I just don't have that sort of friend anywhere locally I can call upon
