Sorry in advance for the wall of text, I had a semi-epiphany but really it’s just a rant. Week one of mental health and community nursing - - DONE! and with a bang too! Today we had our Simulation day, which usually I cringe at — even at the thought of SIM. Because i absolutely hate public speaking and in this case acting and performing in front of the entire class. But of course since I am trying to overcome all that I volunteered to go first and just had fun with it. Its funny because people have no idea how anxious I am on the inside, shaking like a leaf really, because I always put myself out there and i’m pretty social, im sure my friends would all say I was outgoing, but when it comes to getting up in front of the class, something about it makes me wanna puke. buuuuut i did it, faked the confidence and it worked haha, fake it till you make it i guess. Anyway  we learned about how to respond to difficult patients, and how to defuse patients in a manic state. A lot was covered on behaviors and interventions. We were put in simulation situations that included manipulative, sexually provocative and aggressive type situations. This whole topic of mental health interests me because I believe everyone is capable of developing a mental disability if put under the right conditions and stressors, which means that prevention is key. I also love the fact that learning about manipulation and aggression makes it easier for me to point it out in my real life and not take what people say or do so personally. For example Manipulation is a coping strategy, so many times I have seen people around me manipulate others, the word in itself has a negative connotation yet EVERYONE manipulates at times.. the only time its really harmful is when there’s a disregard of others included in that manipulation.  In an article I was reading it says “when people manipulate, they are trying to reduce their anxiety, loneliness and insecurity by controlling their environment and interactions with others.” If you encounter a person who is manipulative, try not to be triggered by it. If you respond angrily the person will feel even more anxious and insecure and their behavior will worsen. Instead take a step back (metaphorically and physically) and realize that every action has a reason and a lot of the time it has nothing to do with you personally.
