It’s been over a year since I’ve gone back to work full time. It’s interesting to say the least to have to deal with ptsd in the workplace and all the little ways it manifests. It’s exhausting. I thought I was going to be able to see my original doctor to go off my medication but it’s been impossible to sync our schedules.

Congrats on making it through the first year of rebuilding! I hope you can make that schedule sync happen sooner or later.

Glad you’re back to work. Are you seeing a therapist too? Mine is helping me with all the triggering things that happen at work.
It was all the people here advising, “See a therapist” that got me to finally seek one out and go. |

Lol I was in therapy for a very long time. I’ve graduated from at least 2 therapists as well as DBT. I did see a therapist about work issues. I have DBT and CBT skills at my disposal . |

I’m finding someone at work very triggering. My therapist suggests that I not look her in the eyes, just somewhere else on her face, and to think of the things she does in another light, “She’s trying to help me.” It’s really helpful for me to go talk out what is triggering and my various fears/catastrophic thinking. |

Did I say I was triggered? No I’m just having to deal with the challenge of training someone who’s hard to train, as well today having to deal with someone from another store. On the one hand I have empathy for my supervisors because I used to be like that. On the other hand I’m frustrated because I don’t really have the authority I need to make the impact I want to make. |

I get it though, work frustrations can be so irritating. I sometimes just like to talk about them with someone to get it out of my head/off my chest and leave it behind. Also sometimes talking about it helps me see it from a different perspective. Seesaw __________________ What if I fall? Oh, my dear, but what if you fly?

I hate that, when people expect you to act like you don't have your disorder in dealing with something...like, I can't handle it like you because that doesn't work for me. Help me figure out something that works for me!

I have to be careful what I say online. Work is fine. The internet is not a good place to vent about work, for me. Anybody could read it. Karma catches up to everybody, prayer works. Remembering those things will keep me sane. Everybody experiences stress, bad days. Work is work. Everybody has to work. I will say this much. My job taught me exactly how much I despised being submissive to multiple people, but it was an important lesson for me to learn as I thought I wanted to be submissive in my personal life. I’ve learned submission is not for me, and if I have to do it at work I will because that’s how I earn my living, but that’s it. I’m cured of my thinking being submissive is anything desirable or attractive at all. The reality of it is horrible, for me. I’m not at all a submissive person and I respect that about myself now. |
