Shout out to Anne RNC

Published

Just wanted to say thank you for coming back and visiting the site so frequently. I think so many people go through these programs, succeed, and don't come back. It is always inspiring to hear from someone who has "been there, done that".

:). Thank u! I just remember how horrible I felt that day August 15th 1999 when I got taken off the floor and escorted to the DONs office. I felt like a leper, I was scum because of what I had done. I wish I had known about AN back then!!

If any of my posts help anyone at all or make one nurse feel better than the way I felt back then, I couldn't ask for anything more.

Anne, RNC

When everything first happened I told my brother "well, this is my opportunity to experience the deapth of judgment and the kindness of others, I think I will find my humanity in this". This has been so true. I am fortunate, I have a vey loving supporting family, friends that look at me like nothing has changed. Every nurse I met at my job still adores me. I am fortunate that I have a psych job waiting on the other side for me and that I get to focus on finding what makes me happy. I also count myself lucky that I get to feel the sting of empathy when I see others who are still suffering. I wish everyone had these things, it breaks my heart that some don't. This has been an already humbling experience, and most of all I am fortunate I can come here and feel like the gap is filled. In the earliest days following my downfall, coming here helped in so many ways. To know that others shared my fears, and that there is always hope.
