Idk where to post this but I desperately struggle with wanting to move up the ladder and then doubting my abilities to actually take the lead necessary to move up. I wish you didn’t need to rise up the ladder sometimes to make more money. Sometimes I wish I can just do nothing at all and be comfortable to take the anxiety of working away.

It’s not just the money. As time goes by younger folks move up the ladder and then you become a dinosaur stuck in the same position and making the same money, reporting to someone who has half of your experience. But I hear you. The more responsibility, the more stress.

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?

My last therapist keeps coming up in my mind. I left her when I moved to a new area before COVID dug in and frankly it felt like leaving a girlfriend.

Her knowledge of the program certainly built trust with me early on, but it has been two years. I discussed it with my current therapist but she’s still in there. Any advice?
