Well, it didn't go that great, but I think I managed to behave in a professional enough manner to keep it from being terrible. My boss ended up being extremely pissed by the time of our meeting, whether with us or someone else I don't know. But she was very harsh and threatened both of our jobs. What I had explained before about the OCD and she seemed to understand, she then just berated me for. She wouldn't let me get a whole thought out, and kept baggering me about a deadline I didn't make that was a misunderstanding as to whether she meant the beginning or end of the day. I wasn't the only one who misunderstood this, but she brought it up over and over in order to make the point that she gave me a chance and I didn't make my deadline. I tried to say my piece, but it was evident nothing I said would be considered. I eventually gave up and reminded her that I had stated from the beginning that I would do whatever she decided, I was simply asking for help with a situation. She had told me to come to her any time I have a problem with work, but I see now that I should just ignore that. I was very upset when I left, but I went straight to my T appt, and although she was kind of tough on me, I felt much better afterward. She told me to stop the relationship with S because she obviously wasn't reciprocating and would rather compete with me than be my friend. But she said to remain friendly and act like nothing is wrong, and when she asks if I'm mad about something to just do as she did and say no. I'm going to stay out of any company socializers and just stay to my self until I can get another job. And when that time comes, I will be extremely careful about my friendships with co-workers. Anyway, I'm going to stop posting from work, so it may be awhile before you hear from me. I've got to get my computer set up at home. I'm not happy, but I can see now I will get through this. Thanks for everyone's support.
