Good news - for a change!

With all the recent happenings and stress related issues in my life lately, I have come to believe that there is no such thing as "good always prevails over evil" .
At least now, there is a small little light at the end of this tunnel.
Here's the deal:

We have two cars. A Toyota, which we use as our regular vehicle, and an Uno which is registered in my dad's name but I paid it off.
When we got the Toyota, we decided to lend the Uno to a very good friend of ours who was in need of transportation. Last week, however, he let us know that the car was missing.  There are a few events that lead up to the vehicle being "missing" for example the fact that he left the car overnight in a very dodgy area because the car wouldn't start. He also took longer than necessary to inform us about the happenings, and in order to claim insurance the police report had to be done within 24hours of the incident. We found out quite a few days later.
So, I was kinda preparing myself to just get the car reported as stolen and then my dad was going to have it written off and that would be that. However, today, I get a phone call from my dad saying that a police constable has contacted him and that the car has been found! Apparently not much damage, except for the battery that was missing. I'm really relieved!
I'm just not sure how we're going to retrieve the car from the pound. They are only open weekdays from 8am to 3pm. Plus I would need to organize someone to tow the car, I can't afford a towing company and I don't know anybody who I can ask. I'm actually considering finding out if one of the officers might be interested in buying the car for real cheap? Lol, I don't know, but that is another day's problems. For now, I am just grateful for at least one bit of good news .

The cell phone

Oh my word, things are getting much worse...

I was planning on a long blog post explaining every single detail of the event and my feelings etc, but, no, I'll keep it concise this time...

The first thing that happened this week was that my boss lost his cell phone and now thinks it's stolen. Now, I can't help but feeling that maybe he didn't actually loose it but that he just pretended to loose it in order to set me up so that they can fire me. I don't know. I find it just a tad suspicious the way things happened. My husband says that I shouldn't worry, because I know that I didn't take the phone. But what he doesn't understand is that if I'm set up and consequently fired, that will become part of my reputation and people will trust me even less. It sucks so much, I wish I could just lead a normal life...

Anyway, this happening got me thinking that maybe I should just start looking for another job. I am REALLY very happy to work there, I love everything about the company, but my paranoia is just getting the best of me and it's making me miserable as a result.
I am more suited to jobs in HUGE companies, like say 200+ employees, were I can just be a number. Just go to work, do my job, leave and get paid at month end. No fuss and office politics.
I want to be able to focus on my life and my friends again, instead of constantly obsessing and brooding over the fact that my colleagues don't like me and my bosses are plotting to get me fired.
Also, I need to make more money so that I can start seeing a professional regarding my condition.
I've joined this forum at Psychcentral which is pretty awesome, because I get to share my experiences with people with similar fears and anxieties as I have and I also get to read how it is for other people etc.
So, I've you happen to read this blog, and you have some sort of mental issues, do yourself a favor and join those forums.
