I have just recently had to take time off my very stressful job due to catching the flu, which turned to a chest infection...horrible!

Just before this I had a row with a colleague who was, in my opinion, patronising and invalidating. Unfortunately other colleagues noticed this and the horrible environment and reported it to my line manager. She called both myself and my colleague into the office and said that she was concerned about our working relationship.

I had already apologised to colleague, who of course did not do the same for me. She has in fact already had three complaints against her. Anyway we had put the row behind us. Now I feel as though I am being watched by the rest of the team and if one more person asks me if I am ok I will scream.

My feeling is that they think I am becoming mentally unwell (I am bipolar). It so bugs me that I have one little spat with a very annoying colleague and it is immediately deemed to be my fault because I am unwell. I don't think I am unwell. I am a little emotional but I could put this down to having a virus.

Sorry just a whinge.
