I have been very stressed with my caseworker. I keep asking the same questions and stating the same concerns and nothing gets done.
I was feeling like "monkey in the middle" between my case worker and her director.
Caseworker "i'll look into it. I'll have to ask my director"
Director" Your caseworker will have to get back to you. I'll look into it"
well, anybody btdt? So after another day of crying and complaining. I phoned somebody different. And this time I felt like I got through, and maybe will get something accomplished.
But before I did that I came home hungry and upset. As I was grabbing food out of genuine hunger. sweet, fatty foods kept coming up in a craving..and i told myself "how is pie or icecream going to solve this problem?" Thankfully I ate a nutritious lunch and opted for some animal crackers for a slight sweet.
Then I grabbed the phone, which was a more useful tool than a piece of pie to solve my problem. I am learning the correct coping mechanisms and when my wrong previous behaviors pop up I can identify them as the wrong reactions to negative situations.
I love it.
