Neverthesame, Thank you for telling me your story. I really appreciate it. To be honest, I used to have anger management issues as well - probably a symptom of my PTSD. I never took it to work though - I was always able to discern that this behavior was not acceptable out in public...

1 - can't fire individual without investigation...he is under union contract. 2 - B3 (big boss) said she needed incident with E1 during which threats were made to be a written statement before investigation could start. 3 - I am relatively new to this job, so I have no idea what this person is...

Short story long, I am a boss in an organization that maintains unionized, or contractual employees. It is very hard to fire people in this situation and they know it (think tenured teachers), and this emboldens them to behave badly at times. Months ago, I was asked by the HR dept to deal with...

Hi iamsensative, Thanks for your reply (and to everyone else too). I'm doing a little better today, but because I'm not at work. Being at home with my pets is comforting to me, I wish I could take them everywhere with me (and before anyone asks, no my work will not allow an emotional support...

Gadgie, while I wouldn't want to be totally alone, I do wish my spouse was more understanding. She does keep my private business private, but mostly I think that's embarrassment than out of respect for me. She does give me an awful hard time for not being able to cope like a "normal person"...

Thanks to you all for your suggestions and support. Here's the thing...sleep apnea, no - I've looked into it before. My spouse is the one that encouraged me and wants me to work at this job because of the prestige and money. I enjoy the money myself. I'm counting down to,retirement...13...

Thanks to you all. The train or any type of public transport is out of the question. I live in a very rural area and no train or bus comes here - hence, the long commute. I have to go to the city for my job. I could drive to the outer edge and take public transport from there, but that would...

I have a very high level, high stress job. I'm proud of myself for getting the job and my therapist tells me I am very good at my job but I don't feel that way. Every meeting, every interaction leaves me feeling unsure of myself and awkward. A big part of the job is problem solving with...
