I worked for 28 years in state government, clerical jobs. I have "thought disorder", have been hospitalized short term 3 times, and always basically did my work & minded my own business. Nevertheless, there were always those certain co-workers (not all of them, just some of them) who would pick on me, or at me. To complicate matters, I have a hearing loss, and this caused my telephone voice to be loud. Also, if I had to turn the phone amplifier up, the coworkers would complain that they could hear the caller (while I was struggling to hear the caller!) It just got so bad, I finally retired (at age 51!) & now work temporary jobs. I am limited where I can work, as I cannot drive (eyesight too poor). Even though I try pretty hard to act normal, I still got hassled. I guess I just accepted it as long as I could---I was always wrong in any conflict, and others were always right---but now I'm outa there!
