I was in therapy usually 3 times a week while i was working, and i still had a very difficult time. My managers often told me i was unprofessional (and i worked in an office environment).

Managers often talked about having balance in your life, which i lacked. I had no personal life. My family of origin was a source of angst, not support. I see a lot of similarities between myself and Ruby. I would "leak" personal issues all over my coworkers.

Part of it was not being medicated. Prozac hadnt even been invented yet. But a lot of it was upbringing and just who i was. I was lucky that i had a high iq and was really good at my job, but eventually i got let go from every job i ever had, when, as my last boss said, i became more trouble than i was worth. My family was also increasing pressure on me at that time. It is hard when no one is on your side in life.
