Have not been able to sleep for two days. I was trying to help out someone at work and the info I provided was not correct. She made a point of e mailing several managers and a VP stating I made a mistake. The mistake was fairly insignificant and my boss told me not to worry about it. He was actually upset that she sent the email. I hate confrontation and disputes I hate making mistakes. Been up for the past two nights crying.

Oh man that is to bad it is causing you to be so upset.

It is really on her. Trying to make herself look good and it back fired on her.

We all make mistakes. No biggy. I have even made a few very costly (money wise) ones at work. I never lost a job over it.

Logically I can look at it and see the situation as no big deal. Emotionally I struggle with it. The pain is very intense.

I REALLY REALLY relate. This was one of the worst things for me when I was depressed.

It's probably actually better that your co-worker did that rather than starting a whispering campaign against you. Sometimes if someone it out to hurt you, it's better that it's out in the open for all to see.

Personally, I think it's so much better to have a "fix the problem, not the blame" view of these things. Stress makes everything worse and if you make a workplace full of stress, you will get lousy results AND make everyone unhappy.

We ALL make mistakes and it is just a fact of life. As for the co-worker, since you hate confrontation, you might want to just eliminate her from your life. By that I mean, if at all possible, don't talk to her or even see her anymore. Make her invisible to yourself. What she did was wrong and your depression is making it even worse. It works sometimes for me as I don't like confrontation either.

Thank you for all the posts. It helps ease the pain.
That is my plan is to limit my contact with her. She makes me feel awful

It keeps coming in waves for me now. I'll start to feel a little better than I feel bad again. It flows thru my whole body I can feel the stress flow thru my veins and attack my muscles. Very painful and uncomfortable.

She sounds aggressive, and your boss recognized that. Perhaps you should try to think up nice ways of refusing to help her in the future so you don't get drawn into her drama.

[hidesad]

Thank you. Yes she is very aggressive a lot of people have had issues with her in the past. Logically I can think it thru but unfortunately emotionally I'm feeling the effects. I was thinking the same thing today. I really need to limit my contact with her.

Dealing with depression and dealing with so many different personalities at work can be difficult to deal with. You have to brush it off can't hang emotions on that situation although it was unfortunate and immature of the person. You'll be all right especially since you got confirmation from your boss that you were fine and it wasn't a big deal.
