I agree with poet-girl--but could never have expressed it so well! I wouldn't take offence. You have enough to concentrate on, doing your job every day and keeping yourself functioning while you are working on your mental health issues with your therapists.

My T tells me when my anger is out of control, that he thinks I am behaving like I described myself as a little girl. He doesn't say this to be critical, but to give me insight into why I act like that. He thinks it's a reaction I learned when I was very young and frightened. I remember my mother yelling at me from a very early age. Sometimes, when I had done nothing that I knew to be wrong, or when the "wrong-doing" was done by my younger sisters. One was particularly shy, and so all her deeds got blamed on me.

You sound like you have a lot of good qualities and a lot of strengths. I hope your boss will continue to support you while you work through things.
