Ambivalence about Volunteering

Have you ever been in an ER? As a patient or a family member? How'd you feel about it? If you were helped and got a happy ending, chances are you felt good. But if someone snapped at you or made you feel unimportant, I'll bet you got (or felt like getting) ANGRY!

Stressful situations make everyone feel, well -- STRESSED! You feel MAD (like crazy) and get MAD! We're not at our best when we're stressed, right? Right.

My feelings about volunteering in the ER are hugely affected by the way people treat me there. When I feel appreciated, I absolutely love love love working there. But when people blame me because things aren't going the way they want, I don't really feel like working to solve their problems. 

A Love|Hate Situation. Oy....
