Change in my thought about self-control and mental stability at work
It may be obvious to typical adults, especially office workers, but controlling your emotion on your own is a key to continue your work.
As for me however, it has taken for more then ten years to realize and try to achieve this. I've been thinking that someone to talk to when I become emotional was essential to the working environment I would be in.
To cope with stresses and emotional changes from events or changes of environments, the first thing I learned is put my emotions into words and quantify them, instead of resorting to rash behaviors. From the beginning of the training, I was accompanied with the counselor who well understand this approach. So, I was thinking that if I would be at work, there should be at least one person in the working environment who understand the approach and who listen to my way of stress coping.
Recently I learned that, to be employed by a business you should be able to manage your emotion and behavior on your own. At that time, I was much dependent on the manager of the office in coping with my stress stabilizing my emotion. The manager said one day, being mentally dependent on staff members isn't the way an employee of a business, but a member or trainee of assisted/sheltered employment.
When I heard this, I was upset because someone I can talk to about stabilizing my condition the very thing I needed to continue to work. Later, talking to staff members in my workplace like the manager to stabilize my mental state could be a cost to my workplace. Listening to the manager's advice, I sought help from regional support center for a counseling.
Even now, I have to do a lot of work and fight to stabilize my emotion, and sometimes I need help from people around me. Now, however I've come to think that I should make every effort, do my best, and take action as much as I can to improve my condition, even though sometimes I may fall into mental depression, which is much more likely to happen than average adults and there is none to be blamed about that.
