I got an email yesterday afternoon from the Human Resources person that handled the "incident" of my letter to the co-workers.She asked me to call her for a meeting. Since I live very close to the school I teach at, I simply drove straight over. It turned out that one of the people I have problems with "isn't quite ready" to work on something with me, so was I willing to step aside from that particular committee for the year? It would have made things escalate again if I refused to do so, plus who needs extra work if you don't have to do it, so I agreed to step aside for the year. It bugs me though that people continue to get treated in "special" ways. If I tried to do something similar I'd have been told I just have to deal with it. I was glad it was nothing more serious, but for that brief time I didn't know what she wanted to talk about all the panic, anxiety and depression came right back, as if my life were spinning totally out of control like I always knew would happen, and there was nothing I could do to stop it. It then took some time to feel back on track. I really need to keep my job life as stress free as possible. A lot of my symptoms seem to run in my family, and I have relatives who had other people willing to take care of them because they really couldn't work. I on the other hand have had to work all my life, long before I understood about anxiety and panic. Poeple sometimes say I'm a "survivor," but I say big deal. OK, done with rant. Input welcome.
