I share a very small office with a coworker. The problem is that she likes to have the door open and I like to have the door closed. (technically the rules are that for fire safety the door should be closed but no one follows those rules.) While she can see out the door from where she sits, I can't because my back is directly to the door. It ends up making me really anxious all day and makes me really hyper aware because I can't see who is approaching me. I have talked to my T about this before and we have discussed the liklihood that anyone would actually attack me at work, (which is slim). However, lately I have been feeling really bad and this just ends up making my whole day at work totally and completely awful. I have asked her to compromise and we have the door only open a little bit, but right now even that small amount is too much.

I end up being agitated and annoyed anytime she is there because she opens the door when she arrives even though I have it closed. I just needed to vent.
