Would it be bad if I change my start date? I proposed to my employer a start date 2 weeks after I quit my job, but now that I think about it, I feel like I need a week to recharge before starting a new job.

How far away is that start date supposed to be? If it’s next week yes. If it’s still a few weeks away no harm in asking.

Haven’t signed the offer? Means you’re still in negotiation mode! Ask to move the date out a week.

Depends on when you agreed to the start date. Probably never a great look overall, but the closer it is to the start date you agreed on, the more likely you are to get off on the wrong foot. If you agreed and signed an offer letter already, know that they’re likely making plans for your onboarding and planing to introduce you to projects, so I’d suggest approaching it politely and kindly. If your start date is like, this coming Monday, you’re playing with fire and I’d suggest just...not. If you’re still in discussions and haven’t formally agreed or signed an offer, then still totally up for grabs.

Either way you could move the date, but how close to the start and if you’ve already technically committed may impact how likely they are to agree with a positive tone.

I started a new job recently and then had my PTSD seriously triggered, plus a panic attack.

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?

I’ve become negative about my life and can only think how I’ve been wronged, how I’m stuck, and frustrations w/ various circumstances in my life.
