I need help. I’ve been working in advertising for many years, but I don’t feel I can keep going any longer. Unfortunately, this is the only thing I know how to do, but I’m running on fumes.

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 😣.

Has anyone else dealt with PTSD and had it impact them at work, and how did you handle it?
