Sorry for the saga but several people wanted to know the update to my awful job...
I was so confused I was even thinking of staying. Felt sick. Talked to my dad and he was astonished at what this woman had done to me... how I was doubting myself and thinking maybe I should stay after months of abuse, wondering if I was the problem.
I didn't know if it was right but my dad convinced me to block her phone number. I emailed the office manager and said that if they need anything else to go through HR.
I spent the last two days distraught, wondering if I was making the right decision. I kept coming back to the last thread and reading all of your comments of support.
One thing she said that made me feel somewhat sure was when I called her out for gossiping about me just twenty feet away while everyone was drinking wine. She stuttered about barely ever drinking wine and how it was only a few steps and ended it with "and everything I say to others I've said to your face." When she said that in the conversation it made me doubt myself again, but reflecting back, just because you say abusive things to my face doesn't make it any better to say them to others.
She also told me that I fucked up her day and fucked up my own day by doing this. I began to read more and more about narcissism and she fit every check mark. She totally screwed my mind in only four months.
I feel better today after being absolutely exhausted and panic ridden yesterday. I can't explain how terrified I felt, all the way down to my bones. I could hardly form sentences.
I have a month until my next job and am looking up volunteer opportunities and going to church on Sunday. Have a day planned to go to the zoo with my friend. Bought bubble bath and am going after my hobby of orchid collecting and setting up a badass aquarium for my betta fish. I walked my dog this morning during the sunset and made myself a nice breakfast. She had given me several of her things when she was moving and they made me sick to look at, I'm giving them all away. Dropped their laptop off at the post office. Said what I needed to say in the exit interview and am calling HR today. Happy to get back to simplicitt, and I genuinely have this sub to thank. Can't explain my gratitude
