I checked out your blog and now can't wait to read your book someday :)<br />We're kind of curious about your request and would love to talk with you about it more -- is there somewhere else we can chat more? Would email work OK?placenta sandwichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14729355361057625131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387757235421993128.post-79336151782643243142009-11-30T10:49:18.674-05:002009-11-30T10:49:18.674-05:00Thank you for a thought-provoking post - the lates...Thank you for a thought-provoking post - the latest in a string of wonderful posts on this blog. I've been a follower of The Abortioneers for many months, as I've been writing a book on younger pro-choice activists. Your words and insights have been a constant inspiration to me. I respect the need for anonymity, but if you or any of your fellow bloggers would be willing to speak with me in more detail about your work, for my book, please feel free to contact me via a response to this post. (I apologize for the rather public nature of this request, but wasn't sure what the best way to contact your or the other Abortioneers was.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387757235421993128.post-77351013066699014662009-11-30T10:40:49.063-05:002009-11-30T10:40:49.063-05:00Oh man I know what you mean.

It's frustrating since I've always loved my work in this field, actually (except for the workplace stuff that nearly every job has- I don't mean that stuff). I know we all have our different tolerance levels to the adrenaline of others' needs, the repetition of the same pressures over and over, and especially to experiencing others' trauma...but for me all of that stuff has been surmountable. What really gets me down is the dangerous sea of negativity that I know is out there -- that sometimes laps at my feet and then sometimes swallows colleagues whole, in various ways including murder but also the enforcement of fear/loneliness/etc -- that part can make you pretty sensitive, skin-crackly, ready to cry when you're asked to explain it again from the top, if you feel on edge for too long.RFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00395208790297204165noreply@blogger.com
