I keep thinking about that call after the work dinner.
After someone spoke to me threateningly at the work dinner, I kept listening to the call over and over.
Scenes
- I keep thinking about the call. — I got a call after the work dinner. The other person said, “I won’t let this go,” and the words stayed with me after we hung up.
- Those words came in a phone call — The other person brought up what happened at the work dinner, then said those words. You can also record when the call came and how the conversation went from beginning to end.
- Don’t pull out just one sentence — When I write down a call, I note the date and time, the other person’s number, and what was said before and after. That helps me see what was said and how the conversation unfolded.
- Start with what you remember — Tonight, try noting the date, the call time, and what you remember being said. If you have a recording, keep the original as it is and review a copy.
- You can come back to your notes — It’s okay if the note you made today is brief. Next time, you can look at the full conversation and the boundaries you need for your safety.
