Acting like I care about the work is so exhausting. Having to positively receive all the subjective client critiques and watering down the rewriting to fit their perceptions zaps me of any creative juices. I’m supposed to care, but at the same time not take it personal. Why should I put in the effort for nothing in return? I feel like a robot all the time, and if I’m not always “on” then I won’t be able to move forward in my career, but I’m just so burnt out on this client and feel all used up.

I do love the company , really just completely over the client, and am frustrated that I can’t vent about it at work for fear I’ll come across as a negative person and that it would put a halt to a future promotion.

I let people know there were some personal things going on, but didn’t mention the PTSD—very unsure if that’s something to share, or if I’d be judged for it or... I don’t even know. Has anyone else dealt with PTSD and had it impact them at work, and how did you handle it?
