Having a few difficulties at work...
The short story is that someone was off sick for a period of time yet was posting about parties she was hosting on the Internet...other colleagues became aware of it and reported it to my manager...the colleague that was off sick now thinks it was me that reported her and that my manager just wants to get rid of her which isn't the case...
The reason this is stressing me out so much is that a few years back me and some friends were harrassed through social networking sites and it reached a point where we never felt safe...I feel the same now because of how they have reacted towards me both online and at work...I know that it's heightened because of everything else that has happened and that in normal circumstances I would be able to deal with the situation but I can't at the moment and it's causing more stress...
Why do things go from bad to worse before they get better?? I'm so tired of trying to stay strong...I want my old life back...I'm not strong enough to handle all of this...
What kind of job do you do? Where do you work? It would help to know so we can give you advice on how to defuse and deal with this situation.
I also saw what you wrote in the "need a hug thread". It's not your fault. You didn't cause it. You couldn't have stopped it. Go and demand a hug from a friend.
It would be easier if it had been me...my family don't need me but we needed my dad...he kept us together...
I've just picked up a bit of rock that's on my desk. There's the outline of a tiny leaf that was crushed in the dirt an amount of time that I can't understand ago. The fragile outline of a leaf is preserved in a fossil I picked up on a walk and left on my desk. If something so small, so insignificant, can leave an indelible imprint 10s of millions of years later. Then the imprint that your dad has left on you and your family will last as well. You need to become the rock, it will take time, and pressure, but you'll be alright.
