Falling Away

Apparently a co-worker thinks I have a problem with them or have somehow had a bad attitude. The only thing I can think is that I have allowed others to rant about her in my general vicinity but I cannot help the anxiety attack that it caused. I've sent a rather long e-mail to her, here's to hoping that I dissected her confusing e-mail well enough to make everything make sense. I think a lot of the issue here is grapevine syndrome epsecially since she named no names so it's not like I can verify that they are people who would actually know what really happened. The only thing I can think of is that I stated that I didn't want to work opposite her, but if the things that I heard were true I don't. I don't know what's going on I just know that now I'll be fighting an anxiety attack for quite a while. Honestly who knows maybe D was right...maybe it just took an outsider to point it out. Rude, Lazy, Inconsiderate granted they were statements made in anger, but perhaps that is truely where we speak the most truth. Not like it gives me any clue about what might be best other than to perhaps go back to taking breaks entirely alone and not reaching out to anyone. I have less anxiety attacks when I have no friends at work at least. Who knows, maybe that's best.

Who know's what this is going to do for my chances to be brought back. I've worked so hard...so very hard. I feel like everything is slipping away. Like all of the struggling I have done has been for nothing. And it all sprouted because I made the statement 'I guess she didn't think that was funny.' regarding a comment I've made in good fun many times. No one was supposed to be hurt by this but isn't that how it always goes. Looks like I am back to the norm...and I thought I'd done so well.

I made the mistake of getting comfortable, of thinking I could joke with the others at work, but once again, just as it did with Telvista it's causing problems. So perhaps it is time to crawl back into my shell. At least it's safe there.
