Borderline, bipolar, redundancy & sexual harassment
I called lifeline and got the advice to come here so here I am.
I've done DBT for borderline and if this is as good as life is going to get then there isn't much to live for.
I got made redundant but luckily secured a much more suitable position 2 weeks after.
The new job i have this charismatic, married boss. Who made demeaning comments about my role/status in the team, asked me about my sex life and told me about his marriage problems. I offered advice. Colleague / friend definitely blurred. I feel completely insane like I've misinterpreted all this inappropriate behavior as flirtation. It came to a head when he showed me an injury on his leg (which meant removing his pants) in a meeting room. I couldn't let it go and had 2 conversations about boundaries.
To save his own skin in fear of me making a formal complaint (which i wouldn't have done despite the rude text msg I sent ) he told his boss which is humiliating all over again. So now I'm having to take it formal anyway and don't want to ruin my career so said we'd just sort it out anyway so long as he sees a counselor. (For his inappropriate behavior and marriage probs that he shouldn't be divulging in the workplace to his subordinate).
What's worse is my friends don't really get how much it's affecting me. My best friend is never there for me. Then she turns it around on me and tells me I'm abusing her - all I said was please don't call if you don't want to or can't talk as it's upsetting. So we aren't speaking.
I hate my family. I have no one.
