I don't know what to do. Today I accidentally saw a letter a coworker sent to our union. She was quitting the union because I had become a steward. She knows I saw it because it was when I was doing some maintenance on her computer and it was randomly selected to see if Word was working. I had no choice but to ask her why? She said because I have recently become too disturbed and wanted nothing remotely to do with me. She said that a conversation I had with her scared her so badly, and another persone who overheard, that they almost called 911. I had no idea. My recollection was that I was upset because I saw that this person and my boss were effectively undermining my paycheck to this person's benefit. Who would not be upset? But threatening? I sure don't think so. Today I told this person that I was sorry it was so bad, that I had no idea I came across that way and did not know what to do. I can say that this happened while I was off meds and on a downward spiral that was unrecognized by me. So, maybe I was nuts. I truly don't know what to do.

I have written the union president and withdrawn my stewardship. I have asked her for advice, but that is not really her domain.

I am thinking that I could call the company employee assistance office for advice, but don't know if I can trust them. Has anyone had experience, good or bad, with EAP people?
