I thought I had a manager with zero emotional IQ. But I’m starting to realize that they’re malicious and I’m being gaslit. I’ve been dealing with the tragic death of my only family member. I’ve had CDs that were caring. That saw when you were overworked or were in a partnership where you were carrying someone. In this situation, I can’t even get normal empathy for an extreme tragedy unless I breakdown. Cry. Beg. It all feels like an incredibly cruel game to assert their power. Any advice?

I and my boyfriend have been dating over a year now. Our relationship in general is pretty smooth and sweet. The only problem is he has not come out to his parents yet.

Since he is not out, he can’t pick up the phone call whenever I call him, he can’t tell his parents he is dating someone in the city. Cont.

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?
