She said she would get back to me. She is probably sick of dealing with me too. Not that I blame her. I would probably be sick of dealing with me too, if I was her.

but it felt like my coworker was upset with me even though I was doing what she asked. I just needed help because I had never done that task before. And if I go to our outside accounting firm for help, said coworker gets mad because that costs us money. But if I go to her, she makes it sound like I am bothering her. I'm in a lose-lose situation.

So I'll just whine here for a bit. Sorry folks. Kit

Hugs, Kit. I'm sorry you're still struggling.... Reach out to a crisis line if needed. Is it possible to reach out to your T for more support? It is good you're keeping the hospital on the table if needed (though hope it won't be needed)--it shows that deep down, you do want to stay safe.

Keep posting here if it helps.
