I wanted to share this story with you guys and get some advice.
I thank anyone who can provide me with any advice on this topic.

A few months ago a new girl 26 years of age started work at the company I work for. She seemed to be very withdrawn. Still is.

Any after about a month I started to talk to her get to know her. Although still being withdrawn, everytime I talk to her she smiles, and giggles alot. So I decided to begin to put a little bit of extra effort into getting to know her thinking she was interested. One night at a company dinner, we got to talking and had a great time. Next day I offered her a lift home. She accepted. In the car I said to her we should go out one night, she replied yeh we would have a great laugh, actually she said it twice. Anyway this was about 2 weeks ago. A week ago I sent her an email asking her when are we going out(I've got a plan)
she responded to my email I can't remember, or maybe I don't want to. So I responded fair enough.

So I just backed right off. Just to show her probally a man thing
thant I wasn't hurt by this, I offered her a lift home that night she accepted.

Ok the day after all this because it ws beginning to affect my work I just backed off right off. Come last light, She messaged me asking if she could catch a ride home with me. I said no worries. Time came we left, on the way home I had the music up alittle louder than usual anyway, she says are you going out this weekend, I said no, I asked her she said no, then I heard her mutter we should go out, well trying to pretend I didn't hear this I said that I had plans. So off we go down the road, I decided to ask her about the email and her response. She said I can't remember, I asked her to be honest she continued to say
she couldn't remember, then I said thats ok if you don't want to go out thats ok, she said if you want to go out I'll go out with you but give me some notice so I can buy some new clothes.


I didn't respond anyway just about to drop her off, I said to her
I hope your not upset, etc..... She said, in an asking tone not a telling one, do you just want to be friends, at that time I'd had about enough, and I said I'll be anything you want.

Now this is the even stranger bit.... She started to talk about her life, and I pulled over, we sat in the car for about 40 minutes talking. She said to me basically she was on medication
for a mental illness,and talked about how most of her early years in life she took drugs and how ashamed she was of it all.

So I put my hand on her knee, and said you've got agreat personality and everyone make mistakes, she was overjoyed.

For some reason she hit me softly, she said I've got to go, I being my normal self said if you want go, go if you want to stay stay. She left working hurrridly off.

How do I handle this, want do I do, Is it worth an effort, or do I just move on..

Anyway she said she was on sodium paromate or something along those lines used to treat manic depression. She also keeps telling me she's leaving in 12 months as in going to live in a different state and the nly reason she's here is to use this time as a healing process. etc...


My gut feeling,is to try and swith off how I feel, and save myself alot of sleepless nights.
