Instinctive Strategy

I hope I'm wrong, but... I think it's not a bad thing to put my feelings in writing here. If it turns out I was being paranoid and nothing happens, this post will look silly. If my instinct was spot on, it'll be a testimony about the consequences of what I wrote about here and here.

It turns out that I'm fighting depression (that's not something new, and I'm lucky to be seeing more light than shadows these days), and I have PTSD, which is why the May bullying incident hurt me so much.

My bosses and administrative colleagues have been given a summary of the situation, but since they know that a few lazy idiots will sometimes try their luck, they weren't bothered about the liar I had to deal with (I've got a printed file of proof showing I'm fully innocent and I've been nastily accused by someone to whom I gave a second chance, and no one wanted to even read that file at work).

The one colleague to whom the "affair" was handed even told me that perhaps my accuser was stressed (someone else mentioned a possible "cry for help").

Now... I know that the configuration is possible, but... when I'm stressed, I have gastritis, I don't spew nasty lies about people I barely know.

Let's imagine that it was a cry for help. I said that something had to be done, and nothing was done. More problems can be expected, then.

That being said, with the amount of lies, twists and silliness from that person, I do believe that this biped was trying his luck, hoping I'd be a fool... or I'd cave because of the false allegations. Wrong gal for that.

Those lies may have unsettled me and pushed me into a short episode of PTSD, but I keep growling, even when I can't sleep well because I'm unfairly accused by a plonker.

If it turns out that the culprit has a brain issue, I'll visit him in Bedlam (or wherever), with treats, and I'll be kind.

If, as I fear, that nightmare-on-legs is trying to be the clumsiest manipulator in the History of bullying, I'll see him again. Sadly, I do believe that it's the kind of biped who could become violent...

I often have rather good instinct.

I'm not too bad in strategy.

I think the issue is far from being over... but Merlin! Do I hope that I end up being wrong!!! [Update in December]
