I came home early Tuesday and haven't been back to work since. I was just so depressed I couldn't stop crying. The main trigger was the way cold-shoulder-girl is ignoring me again. I don't know why I can't let it go and stop letting it hurt me. I mean, I've put in enough effort to realize this isn't anything I can control. I know its not me, but yet it still upsets me.
I'm going in to work tomorrow, but I felt like I really needed those days off to get ahold of myself. I've had a few other symptoms that lead me to believe this may be hormone related, but it still kind of freaked me out that I couldn't get control of myself. It made me think of a couple of years back when I tried a new med and felt like I was losing my mind. It scared me to think I might be losing the control I've worked so hard for.
Anyway, I felt the need to vent, even though the words don't seem to be coming that easily. At least I just have tommorrow to deal with.

TC, you deserve to take care of yourself! I'm glad you took a couple of days. I was triggered last week and it took long time for me to come up out of the fog.
Just remember that your cold-shoulder coworker is the one with a problem. Didn't she tell you that she comes across as unfriendly? You are just fine.

Thanks guys. I never really knew what 'triggered' meant, but I think I do now. All it took was one case of being ignored and that was it for the rest of the week. I feel sort of bad that I took 2 1/2 days off, but I know it was what I needed. I feel much more prepared to face the world tomorrow.
When I get hit with a wave of depression, its like a physical thing. Its like I can actually feel the chemical change. Is that weird?
Clearskies - thanks for telling me I deserve to take care of myself, it was kind of something I needed to hear. I feel like everyone at work's going to be like, "what was wrong with you?" And I'll have to lie and say I had a stomach virus. I hate having to lie. But sometimes being 'too' honest gets you in trouble too. (Believe me.) I guess until mental health issues are more socially accepted, lying is the only choice. I just have to make sure it doesn't bring down my overall attitude. I just have to remember that positive breeds positive, and negative breed negative. That's my absurdly simplistic view of life.
Anyway, its late for me. I'll let yall know how things go.

Today was better, I still got the cold shoulder, but I tolerated it better. Its just so weird to me to get into this routine of hanging out and going to lunch with certain people everyday, and then, out of the blue its like I don't exist. I just don't get it.
I'm beginning to realize that I'm more bothered by being rejected than by the fact that I want to be friends with these people so bad. That kind of helps put things into perspective. So now I'm hanging out with some other people at work who're more fun anyway!
