My co-worker has stated that she needs us to help her with her disability....to point out when she interrupts conversation or when she begins to agonize over something that is not under her control. ex: relabelling the materials in our department because one of the labels is faded....instead of continuing her job on the line.....her partner is out of work because she is relabelling something that we can do at a later date.....when that is pointed out she says it has to be done now even though the line is stopping and our team leader is getting irritated with her constant distractions.  What should I have done to help her?  I spoke calmly and told her we would get it straightened out and that she is exhibiting symptoms of her disorder/disability ....that it would be alright for now.....asking her to focus on the job at hand.......she couldn't until all was relabelled. She is not just a co worker to me but also a cherished friend. Explain how I can be a help instead of a hinderance.
