Thank you! I feel the same way. I was so close to leaving my job because my one manager is supposed to be on anti depressants. Without them, she becomes hostile. I talked to my boss and told him I was currently looking for a new job. He talked to the manager who was being hostile. She went back on her anti depressants. Been easier to work with her since.
I am also sensitive to people's tones. It irritates me if they seem angry or upset. I obessively think they're upset with me. It seems a bit ego centric. May be I'm a push over and want to please everyone. I don't know. Heck! I was even upset when I yelled at my cat for misbehaving and she refused to give me "lovings."
