Five years ago I returned to my job after cancer treatment, I was subjected to bullying by some of my colleagues, I never reported it as I wasn't sure if I was over sensitive due to a tough six months before. They really knocked my confidence and it took me a long time to regain it.
I have returned this week to work after 6 weeks off with illness (not cancer related) and its making me very anxious remembering what i went through.
AIBU to feel like this?
