Welcome to Psych Central. Sorry to hear you have been through high stress levels. You really not to blame. You were trying to survive at your job. The HR person may have been trying to cover themselves from intimidation. The instinct to survive usually over rides every thing else.

What is commendable to me is that you did go to HR and did go through hospitalization and did stick up for your rights.

None of us can change the world and how it does business. I have come to the point where I only think I can change my own thinking and attitudes.

Feel free to private message me or any community liason by left clicking on their name underlined in blue to the left of the post and selecting Send a private message to .....[their name]. We are here to listen.

I try to get exercise, yoga and other gentle stretching exercises and meditation to help me get started in the morning.
