Thanks, Eve.

What's freed me up (and the reason I'm not suicidal) is that I was able to react by being honest and open about what's going on. I've told practically everyone at work.

In the past, I've tried to deal with these things alone.

Hanging out here with people like you has really helped.

I can see now that the issue of how 'over-sensitive' I am is not the point. The only thing that matters is finding a way to make my workplace safe.

And I am doing it!

Thanks, dear friend.
