Hello all! I am trying to figure out if I am just a wimp or if I have PTSD or something else altogether. I was chronically bullied and abused at a job for several years until I was finally fired. I don't know why I stayed. I guess I just kept hoping that things would get better. No matter how hard I tried nothing I did ever pleased them and it seemed the harder I tried the worse things got. It has been 2 1/2 years and I just keep reliving it over and over in my mind wondering what I could have done differently and wondering why they didn't like me. It has gotten to the point where I no longer can work in that field because the memories are just so unpleasant that the thought of doing that kind of work makes me physically sick. The big problem is that my family is suffering financially because of this. I don't know what to do. I guess I should seek counseling but I don't really know where to start. Our insurance company makes seeking mental health counseling a big hassle. Thanks for listening. Just finally putting this into words has taken a load off my mind.
