Triggers.. I can't stand soy sauce

11 July 2010

Posted by amandaunderthepink

I cant stand soy sauce anymore.. it smells too much like the beer that he made me drink. I almost passed out in the mall where I work today.
Speaking of work, I have a corrective against me, for not being up to standards. I trigger daily on the floor- I work in the men's dept. of a upscale store. They know about my triggers-they call them personal business and tell me to leave them outside the door. I don;t think they understand the fact that I cannot control my triggers.

All my co workers and bosses know I have been raped. They will not help me and the worst advice is "move on". this all happened 3 weeks ago and I can't move right now.

Does anyone understand??

I understand what you mean. I worked at a store where my manager was a male and I had a huge panic attack on the floor one day. and wanna know what he told me? he told me to "suck it up butter cup and move on" Needless to say I gave my 2 weeks notice the next day. In less they've gone threw it they don't understand triggers. Nut if they know they should be more supportive. And if you have bad triggers there if possible did you ever think of getting a new job? And as for the not being able to move,close your eyes and breathe in and out deeply, usually helps me when i feel paraliezed.

They dont understand and dont want to. Rape will never be taken seriously but I feel its the closest thing to being killed. People who come back after someone has tried to kill them are never the same, so why do they expect it of us. I dont know hun but I will try to be there for you and everyone else you talk to at pandys. Im sorry your having such a hard time, if i worked at that mall id come help you. :hug:

I can understand what you mean.... I know that jobs want you to "leave your personal matters at the door", but come on. Triggers are something completely different circumstances...I'm sorry that you have to work in that environment.

I second Katie in looking for another job. :/

*hugs if ok*

I hope you get out of that situation soon!

I cant i have ceberal palsy and no one else will hire me
