I was falsely accused by a coworker of stalking her both at work and outside of it. She went to both management and some other people of the hospital we worked at. She had staff at the hospital follow me everywhere I went which lead to me having a panic attack. This caused my boss to let me go, calling me unstable. This happened a little over a year ago and I can't stop the intrusive thoughts and rumination about it. I feel so defeated. I did not do anything to her but for because she had seniority, almost everyone sided with her and basically bullied me. I don't know how to move past it. Please help!

I'm so sorry this has happened. Life has a way of throwing us sideways .

Have/are you seeing a Therapist to help you work through this and be able to move forward? If not I think it would be helpful.

No but I need to. I just hurts so much to be vilified for something I didn't do and having zero recourse.

I'm sorry this happened to you. I agree that a therapist would be a good idea. I had a job where I was bullied and harassed and treated like the odd man out with no recourse. It's very hard. It damages your self esteem and causes depression and anxiety. I sympathize. They are not worth renting space in your head. Please consider a therapist.

This sounds hellish, it must be crazy making to have no idea what caused her to become so vindictive.
I understand the ruminating til it makes you feel physically sick.
Replaying everything over and over trying to change the out come...only it never does.

Hope you can find some help.

This helped:

Black guy here who spent the majority of life in white neighborhoods. I experience this scenario not only at night but during the day, with men and women. After a while, you just say **** it and let them deal with their own bogeymen. Ain't changing the ride in my stride.

Sounds terrible, I'm sorry this happened to you.
But it sounds like a rubbish place to be in. It's pathetic the boss wasn't going to investigate the issue and allow the corrupt behavior to go on.
I suggest leaving this to the workplace, and as for yourself, to find a more humane place to work in.
