I began to hate my job in september, a co-worker was becoming more and more hostile with me, and it made me obsses about work in the evenings, think about work all weekend, not sleep at night as I was crying about this one co-worker and dreading how she'd be with me the following day, and would go over and over in my mind what she said to me and how she said it, and try to work out why she was being this mean to me.

Anyway, I did the adult professional thing, and carried on with my work and pretended it wasn't affecting me, but in early november I couldn't keep that up, and started to show some signs of my anxiety at work, and now I'm on sick leave, and they asked me to resign.

So my lesson learnt is: take time off work when it's gets too much, or you could almost lose everything like I have just done. Our health is number one priority. And the other lesson was to look for other jobs when things start to get too much at work.
