Thank you for such an understanding empathetic response, I actually I had those tears of relief that come from knowing someone understands.
It was such an awful thing. And the terrible thing is it didn't just hurt me but my family.
I never really recovered from that blow, My depression spiraled, and I haven't really worked since. And here I am on my poor old dad's couch.
He shouldn't have to be worried about me at his age. It breaks my heart.
Yes the culprit was found, it turned out to be my boss. She had one of the employees feed her cat while she was away, and the employee found a stash of old medications, mostly ones that were supposed to have been returned to the pharmacy.Nothing came of it. The employee mentioned it to my boss, but had her job threatened. There was no union. She took it no further.
I think sometimes I'll never learn to work in the 'real' world, not that everyone is duplicitious, and I do try to be less trusting, but how can you be on guard against something you don't understand. Its like trying to get into the head of a completely different creature.
You just don't know where the next "blow" is going to come from because you can't even get a grasp on the behaviour.
I don't know.
All i know is that really the only thing that makes "us" different is that we acknowledge our
illnesses and supposed shortcomings.Thank you for your letter
