    Hey @bignosegirly0, thank you for sharing your experience with us here. I'm sorry to hear how you've been treated by this person - it clearly had an impact on you, and pretending to ask you out to make you look bad isn't kind at all. I can understand that this treatment would make you upset, and it's normal for people to say things in anger that they might regret later - we're caught up in the moment after all. It sounds like you took a lot of effort and time to explain your thoughts in your message, and that in return, you've gotten unclear and unhelpful messages that don't take accountability for what was done to you. On the bright side, this person is leaving, so hopefully you won't have to interact with them and deal with their poor behaviour any more.

    I know you've mentioned that this person's treatment led you to hurt yourself and end your life, which in itself shows how serious this was, and highlights how he doesn't seem to have realised the impact of his actions. Can I check that you're feeling safe at the moment? I'll include some support links below in case you decide you need some support - I can hear how this experience might be challenging to deal with. We're here to support you through this <3

    Hey @bignosegirly0 - that makes sense. You put a lot of time and effort to your response, so I hear how not having most of that acknowledged can be hurtful. I'm sorry to hear that you've not feeling great recently, and that you're dreading the idea of going back to work. How was this week? We're here to support you and listen to you <3
