Anyway, hello fellow PTSD sufferers. I'm sorry that we're all in the same proverbial boat. |
After my diagnosis I talked to a career counselor as it was clear to me there were certain careers I would never be able to have. I got diagnosed relatively young, age 31. My diagnosis shut the door on police work or fire fighting work. I knew this without being told . I am currently in the process of preparing to work in a cafe again something I haven't done since high school. I'm also a painter so I don't need a demanding job . My life is demanding enough .
