Message of Healing

It's been almost a year and I'm still messed up, I keep asking why she did it and what did she gain from it because, I gained nothing from it at all, I've lost a lot of confidence from it and feel quite weird now, I guess healing would mean shredding this weird feeling that stays on my back all the time now.

Do you think what I went through was harassment, I didn't ask for the attention, I just wanted the job. I reported this to the H.R. Department and was laughed at and the next day at work was mocked and got smirks and leers from fellow coworkers to where it just made me walk out and quit. I'm male and I only lasted nine weeks at a new job in a warehouse and within the first week my veteran female supervisor of 24 years in her position ( 5 years here ) and i started talking about how we both use to work at the same company at different times and how working at this new company was a refreshing and relaxed change and while we were talking, she started rubbing the middle of my back straight up and down with her hand and that's the day that it started. After that she has come up from behind me 3 different times and put both her hands around my neck for making a data entry mistake, patted me on the back as she walked by me, and started bumping her hand on my thigh to talk to me. She's asked me to dance with her in the warehouse in front of coworkers and even asked if i was going to whip her one day when my belt broke loose while putting boxes on a skid for inventory. When i was putting boxes on a skid one day the bottom of a box broke open letting glass bottles break on the floor and when she seen it, she told me to come over to her, so i did and she playfully slapped me. This last time i was bubble wrapping glass bottles for protection for shipping and i had a large roll of bubble wrap at my feet on the floor i was using and she came over to help on the other side of the roller conveyor and looked at me and said gimme some, so when i started to bend down to get her the bubble wrap, she said to me, If you think I'm going anywhere near down there to get the bubble wrap from you, your crazy, well, i didn't say anything to her but, just looked at her confused and was saying to myself, i wasn't expecting you to go down at my feet to get the bubble wrap but, i felt she was implying something else, maybe I'm wrong.
