I REALLY REALLY relate. This was one of the worst things for me when I was depressed.

It's probably actually better that your co-worker did that rather than starting a whispering campaign against you. Sometimes if someone it out to hurt you, it's better that it's out in the open for all to see.

Personally, I think it's so much better to have a "fix the problem, not the blame" view of these things. Stress makes everything worse and if you make a workplace full of stress, you will get lousy results AND make everyone unhappy.
