transphobia, slurs, misgendering, ableism, bullying, 

A coworker took something I posted on FB out of context and started drama with a group lead over it, so I removed her. In retaliation, she’s now being horribly transphobic towards me, purposely misgendering me, and saying ableist things when she thinks I can’t see/hear, including things like “She ain’t right in the head” and “She’s retarded thinking she’s a man”

and just this morning, she pointed to my desk when I was in the other part of the lab, and called me a psychopath multiple times. She gives me ugly looks any time I’m near her and is otherwise just hostile and horrible to me.

She’s being a typical late middle aged white woman over fb drama and taking it too far. She’s making me dread going to work, and I’m coming home with a headache that’s bordering on a migraine- when I’m finally getting them under control.

I’m writing a LONG report on her to HR this weekend, but this is just another reason why I need to get out of here.

self harm, bullying 

I've already been in a compromised state of mind, and thanks to this bullying, the transphobia, I relapsed after ten years of not self harming.

I hate myself right now for being weak, because she won, in a way, and I really don't know what to do.
