Venting Got mad and told a coworker I’d kill myself

[Hellis]

Asked a guy to turn off his music because it impacts my misophonia. Explained the whole thing to him and he didn't believe me. When I told him it was not very cool of him he started blasting his music and called me a fucking bitch then yelled at me about how he was not yelling at me. I screamed that I was going to fucking kill myself and he told me that wasn't his problem. I can't stop crying. I have to go back tomorrow I really want to die but I promised another coworker I wouldn't hurt myself tonight. I'm so fucked.

I'm so sorry you had to go through that :( I have misophonia too, mainly triggered by people eating loud, and it's absolutely the worst feeling when they continue triggering you till the point of torment. Can you do anything to distance yourself from this coworker? I hope things get better for you, sending hugs

This is too much drama for the workplace, both sides of this interaction were wildly unprofessional and escalating.

Man, that really sucks to hear. I wish people would be more understanding of others (but then again, we wouldn't be here if they would, right). I know things are awful rn, but try to take care of yourself tonight. If anything, this A-hole doesn't deserve credit for your pain. I'm not gonna tell you not to do anything drastic, but please make sure you stay true to what you want.

From a normal perspective, they probably just had no idea such a thing even exists.

I've tried to have this discussion with him before, explained to him my situation and condition and he said he understood, but clearly he hasn't. At this point, I there's no getting through to him.

Yeah, thanks, very helpful.

I want to kill myself and all you care about is professionalism? You are what makes me hate this world. Only when I die will I be free from being a fucking number, emotions don't even matter anymore. Even on the only website I'm allowed to truly speak on my suicidal ideation I'm shamed for it.
