Tell us about a time when you felt out of place.-Writing Prompt

Daily writing prompt
Tell us about a time when you felt out of place.

Two recent occurrences come to mind. Last year just trying to do my job was made difficult. High emotions took a toll and I don’t take for granted that others had more experience than me on the floor. My body from the beginning was working against me almost like God was telling me something was off at this facility. It started with my fracture, getting the flu, my allergic reaction and all this happened in less than two months.

From the moment my fracture happened and I was working my supervisor was telling me to do things that made me uneasy with the orders from my doctor. Therefore starting my ulcer. Yet it took me nearly 6 months of physical and emotional exhaustion to step away from that job. Plus a day at another clinic that was eye-opening in many ways. I couldn’t fight how my entire body was reacting and then most recently out of the mouth of a babe something that had never crossed my mind was voiced by my cousin. I was treated horribly simply because of my connection to my little cousin; jealousy. When I heard her comments I was floored at the connections coming together in my mind.

Why would anyone be jealous of me or allow it to affect a working relationship? This gave me a new sad perspective and I am grateful I had a medical professional guiding me to get out of this hornet’s nest.
