One thing I think I need to get straight in my head: it's NOT ME. It's HER. This is HER ISSUE, NOT MINE. The same thing goes with every other bully and abuser I have run across. I am not doing anything wrong, and this is something I need to get into my head much more.

I am a really solid employee. I come to work on time, I meet every deadline, I am diligent and detail oriented with my work, I achieve the established goals, and I am kind and friendly to all employees. Of course I have my faults and make mistakes, but the other thing I need to get into my head is that I am human and this is normal. I am not perfect, nor is anyone else at work.

But my boss has me walking on egg shells, making me feel like I am doing something seriously WRONG at ALL times.

I am beginning to think that she is a narcissist. Only narcissist bosses make you feel this way.. like you could step on a landmine at any moment and receive their wrath. She manages me with an iron fist and used to nitpick everything I did, UNTIL I brought it to HER boss's attention.

Therapy today should help me. I hope it does at least.
