It's one thing to have a difficult job and another thing to not have people to help you and support you in your job... let alone to have people actively sabotaging what you do.

You know I always say to people in general "don't be afraid to go to the hospital if you think you need it" but it sounds like you don't really think you need to be there. I'd hate to think of the sacrifice to other areas of your life by going in just to escape the job on Monday. I hope you can find another solution. I'm sorry I don't have any concrete suggestions.

Maybe ADA can come in to your workplace to discuss your needs? I think it should be no different than someone who needs a special computer keyboard or a bathroom with siderails, and the ADA would interveve to make sure the workplace accomodates them.

I'm not thinking that it would necessarily help much in the way of change but it would make everything "official" and put it in writing what conditions you need to work, and that might be a step, since it seems everything needs to be documented to protect yourself. Just a thought, it might be worth at least contacting the ADA and asking.

Good luck WW, you deserve better, and I hope you can find your way through this and take care of yourself.
