No. And yet, when I don’t disclose, I get interviews. The lesson: never tell a company who doesn’t give a shit about you your most personal qualities and characteristics.

SC - I had a nervous breakdown on the job due to relentless client bullying. I had previously disclosed that on my private healthcare questionnaire that I had been taking Prozac., like a gazillion others. Totally unrelated. But the agency tried to use it against me to deflect their dereliction of duty.
My lawyer won the day, but lesson learned.

I said it on my application twice but i DID NOT disclose (bpd) and never have. It shows up in my work sometimes and I usually bite my lip through a reprimand and move on without explaining. I’ve only told one manager whom I trusted.

Yup, sad but true.

Comforting others:
When someone tells me bad news regarding their health, I say everything I am supposed to say (I’m sorry to hear that, I’m here for you, etc) EXCEPT “everything is going to be ok”. Because I can’t guarantee that and I really don’t know if everything is going to be ok. I was taken aback recently when a friend told me I am calloused and cold-hearted for not being able to say those words. Is she right? Should I start saying this for the purposes of providing comfort only??

Any idea what this might be or how to even begin the diagnostics?

I started a new job recently and then had my PTSD seriously triggered, plus a panic attack. Felt so on edge and low on emotional resources for over a week that I wasn’t myself and apparently really rubbed a few people the wrong way so I was called in for a talking to 😣. 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?
