I
am
very
nonconfrontational
with
people
and
I
can't
remember
a
time
when
I
wasn't
concerned
with
being
liked
by
everyone.
At
work,
I
am
always
the
positive
little
worker
bee
-
and
nobody
has
any
idea
that
I
am
often
filled
with
anxiety,
just
trying
to
make
it
through
the
day.
It
can
be
so
exhausting
to
do
my
job
-
while
trying
to
hide
my
ocd.
But
I
do
a
very
good
job
-
working
extra
hard
to
make
up
for
the
times
I
get
lost
in
my
ocd.
I
work
for
a
wedding
decorator
and
last
week
I
was
asked
to
work
almost
double
my
regular
hours
because
we
had
a
very
big
job.
So,
I
turned
my
own
schedule
upside
down
to
accomodate
her
-
as
I
always
do.
Jump
to
Saturday
at
about
2:00
and
I
had
worked
for
about
7
hours
without
a
break
(mainly
because
of
her
poor
planning
as
to
how
much
we
needed
to
get
done
in
the
time
we
had)
and I
made the
mistake
of
putting
the
wrong
number
of
balloons
in
the
bouquets
at
the
entrance.
(
I
was
off
by
2)
She
snapped
at
me
for
this
minor
thing
-
mostly
out
of
her
own
stress
-
and
I
had
finally
had
it!
I
stood
up
for
myself
like
I
never
had
before!
I
told
her
just
how
much
I
had
done
for
her
-
and
I
was
not
about
to
accept
being
treated
without
respect
.
I
couldn't
believe
the
words
as
I
heard
them
leave
my
mouth!
She
immediately
apologized
.
When
I
got
to
my
car,
I
started
to
cry
and
I
could
not
stop.
I guess
I
cried
for
all
the
times
I
felt
so
unappreciated
and
all
my
built
up
frustration,
It
was
such
a
wonderful
release!
I
have
a
new
respect
for
myself
and
that
part
of
my
ocd
-
that
has
to
please
everyone-
is
shattered!
God,
that
felt
good!!!
