Pull oneself Together
Speak as Amy
Speak as Stacey
Stacey: I'm just really stressed out because this project is so hard. There is a lot of pressure on me to succeed.
Amy: Well, pull yourself together. It is not professional to be crying at your desk. If you feel that overwhelmed, then you should take a walk or go somewhere private. I'm sorry to be so direct with you, but I think you need to hear it.
Stacey: I know. You are right. I will pull myself together.
Amy: There you go. Let's go get some coffee, and we can talk about it. You will feel better after that.
Stacey: Thanks.
Amy: Of course. Trust me, there have been times when I have felt just like you do now.
