I started a new job about two months ago. It’s my first time working (outside of little side-gigs) since becoming a stay at home mother over 6 years ago. I’ve put in so much time and effort getting all of the necessary certifications, tried really hard to meet all of the expectations placed upon me, and have been as friendly as possible.

One of my coworkers started telling others some pretty nasty stuff about me, saying I’d been making rude comments and just stirring the pot for seemingly no reason. Since then, it feels like everyone (even some coworkers whose names I don’t even know yet) dislikes me. They’ll joke and laugh and be friendly with others, but not me – they’re rude when I ask for someone to cover me for a break, etc.

What do I do? What would you do?

I am so full of anxiety thinking about stepping foot in that place. I called out today because I just couldn’t handle the whole body and brain on fire thing. It’s so miserable.
