How do you deal with a bully at work??? My stress is all work related.   Long story short, went to the doc today and he gave me Citalopram.  Scared as s**t to take it but i feel I need it.  

Are the side effects that bad????

    Well, HR did their job, she still works beside me and I do not know what they said to her, but she is civil.  It was hard as hell going back to work this week after being off since s**t hit the fan.  I`ve been sick to my stomach, crying in fear all day every day, my anxiety is at it`s worst.  I went to see my doctor today and we`ve decided to go on the meds after all as I think it will help me cope with a lot of issues and get me back to living a normal life.  I am going to start taking them in the morning and i`m suppose to go back to see my doc in 3 weeks.  The work stress isn`t going anywhere, but at least I had the balls to finally stick up for myself and now their watching.

      It's ok taking meds. Sometimes we need a little help, a little push...it's ok. Meds help like you said to cope and start getting better...you will start seeing the light then you can change other things little by little. Be patient. Remember everything happens for a reason. You are not the only one going through this...you are not alone.

      Thank you Vanessa, I am starting to realize that I am not all alone!  It`s so great to talk about it to folks that understand and don`t judge.

      Correct! We have all had the same feelings at one point....For me understanding it was not just me and it was NOT something like I was going crazy like I once thought gave peace to my mind and my heart. Let us know how it goes wink
