((CosmicRose)),

Working can be a challenge, I worked while going through some crippling symptoms. I did not work as much, I own my own small business so I just didn't do as much.

A lot of people work even though they struggle with PTSD or other MI's. The thing is, it isn't "all" bad because it keeps you in the now, which is what you need too. If you can work, even though it is hard, it is better for you so you don't end up in your own little world and isolate.

It can be a bit of a toss up because you don't want to feed into the PTSD symptoms, but, sometimes they can be a challenge. You should try to take advantage of personal days, stretch them out and make long weekends if you can. I don't know if you can get a leave or not, paid sick leave would be nice, some people do that too.

Are you working with a therapist right now Cosmic?
Thanks for this!
