Hi. I usually post on the social board, but I came over to this one for no particular reason and found your post. You don't know how familiar it sounds! From the passive aggressive boss, to the messy apartment, to missing alot of work. I've been going through the same thing. The only difference is I got fired. As devastating as it seemed at first, I have to say it was the best thing that could have happened to me. I was so absorbed in trying to make the job work, I didn't realize how miserable I was. You wouldn't believe the feeling when I realized I did't ever have to deal with those people again! Its easy to get absorbed in trying to make things work, but if you're unhappy, there's probably a reason. Get out of that job and try a fresh start. Take the data entry position to give yourself a break and do job hunting in your off time. Who cares what the people at work think. They are just a speck in the sceme of things. After you get another job, you'll probably wonder why you cared so much in the first place. Just because a group of people all think something of you doesn't mean they're right. People in general always need someone to gossip about. I think they do it in an attempt to make themselves feel better. Don't let their petty little games rule you. Your opinion is just as significant. You deseve happiness. I know that's hard for a depressed person to accept, but its true. Sorry if I sound preachy. This just hits close to home with me, and I felt the need to share what I've learned. I'm far from out of the woods, but I feel like I'm making progress. Don't give up.
