[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 681598, member: 18958"] How stupid can he get? But I think he knew all along...but he backed down when she spoke up. He is afraid of a civil rights lawsuit. At least I hope he is. I do not know the history of your anxiety, and whether or not it is trauma related or not. But there is lately a lot of interest in somatic therapies for anxiety, PTSD and depression. If you look on Amazon and search for somatic therapies trauma or anxiety, books will come up. Van der Kolk and Peter Levine come to mind. I bought a book, [U]Walking Your Blues Away[/U] that focuses on walking to treat depression. I think there are things we can do to lessen symptoms, like activities that require focus and limb movement, like needlework or artwork. I read the earlier parts of the thread about SSI and SSDI. In the months you have been posting about your job I have not heard you say you want to stop working. You just don't want people to be mean to you at work. Me neither. Throughout my career I have had people be mean to me, but I managed to work my whole adult life, pretty much. There are a lot of mean people who seem to enjoy being mean in particular to people they can see suffer. I think you are getting a handle on things, CB. By dealing with the anxiety and facing up squarely to a bully. Not by confrontation but by speaking up for yourself. COPA [/QUOTE]
