Well, you are a sensitive person and that's OK. You are who you are.

My immediate thought is that this co-worker is triggering you because she reminds you of someone. Could that be true?

The whole environment sounds toxic for you right now. Maybe you're just not ready for this type of work situation yet, or maybe it's just not right for you at all. If you're not ready, that it puts you into overload, there's nothing wrong w/admitting that and seeking out something else. But I don't know if personally/financially, etc. you are in a position to do that now. If not, I'd explore what the co-worker is triggering. It isn't right that you're disassociating so much at work. You know your mind/body are telling you that there's something wrong (it's not you, but the situation) and if you have the option, maybe you should get out of there. Unless you feel you can work through it.

I know I sound kind of wishy-washy, but protect yourself first. If it means you have to keep the job, take the Xanax regularly and try to get to the root of the problem. If you're experiencing sensory overload that is more than you can handle, maybe you should get out of there. (I know how bad the economy is--I can't find work--so I hesitate suggesting that you quit a job if it's essential for you right now.)

I'm glad you posted, that you trusted us enough to do so. You are a great support for all of us here, so let us help you.
