WOW...
your co-workers were rude... I would have stopped speaking to them too.
As for J. Men just don't understand sometimes but they generally mean well.

It's okay if you feel like that
Sometimes people can be so intolerant and inconsiderate (regarding your coworkers). It wouldn't hurt much if they asked you if you feel well. But then I don't know much.

I had that problem at a couple of jobs, people that expect you to know
everything by magic. Whatever, don't pay attention to that.

You *are* having a hard time of it...
...I'm glad venting in here makes you feel better. I've found that so many times on my LiveJournal and I'm sure I will here too.
Those woman at work and their comments make me want to bang their heads together, especially the RIDICULOUS comment about asking a lot of questions. And since when was it a bad thing to do that at work? It's like being back at school... they're the ones who'll lose out in the end.
I hope you begin to feel a bit better

Hugs, Jemmie Dear!
Don't be too hard on J. Try the unthinkable ... tell him what you need from him right now. Say, "J, I need you to just hold me and listen. Don't tell me how to fix it. I don't need a fix-it guy right now, I need a rock-guy who can help me stay on solid ground. Just hold me and let me talk and cry. Don't get scared by my emotions, just help me get them out. If you can make me feel safe about dealing with them, I can get through them and be me again. But right now they are overwhelming and I need you to be my rock."
They don't understand that we women HAVE to work through things this way. But if they are good men, they will listen when we explain and they will help in the best way they can to give us something to hold on to while the tide of emotions washes over us. In fact, maybe if you explain it that way, that you are afraid to face your emotions because you are afraid that they will wash you away, but if he can be the rock you can cling to while they wash over you, that the tide will go out and all will be well again. Maybe that word picture will help.
Praying for you, dear. Hang in there!

Shelly--again
I do hope your issues work themselves out. But if you even need someone to listen (or read) I'm willing to lend an ear (eye).

Thanks shelly!
And what I posted isn't even close to all I have going on! There's so much more, but I didn't want my post to be too long! UGH! Maybe I'll post a "Depression, Part II" entry or something. hehe

Wow...you have a lot going on.
Just take a deep breath and relax. I'm going through some stuff right now, and I feel like I'm not getting the support I should either. I understand.
Hope you feel better!
