Not looking for pity-just to vent.

Lost my job last week and just said goodbye to my grandmother who’s on hospice care (she’s been declining for a while, just making her comfortable at this point. Sad? Yes, tragic? No-she lived a full life). I know things are bad but working on a positive attitude. Know hiring picks up in Q1 and already have tons of leads. We moved from the city to the suburbs and took a larger apt since I had the salary (I don’t anymore, thank god for savings).

God is good

Hugs, i’m sorry you’re dealing with a tough hand. The silver lining may be that you got to spend time with your grandma in her final days that you might not have had if you’d been working. I’m happy everything worked out on the job front and congrats on the new gig.

The raise this year came with the title of “Lead” and more work responsibilities, talking with a co-worker we now make about the same amount. I started working here right out of college (10 years).

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. She also disclosed in the final session that she was a member of AA and knew several of the people I occasionally discussed from the rooms. 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?

I get so anxious when I have to give my availability for an interview before I start a new freelance job.

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?
