My first semester of teaching without PTSD meds due to kidney failure I missed 6 sick days. I just couldn't do it sometimes. My boss was not pleased. She sent me a disability person from HR as a warning to interrogate me about what was wrong with me. Whether I could do the job or not. It scared me to the core, as I'd just been laid off from my last job after only 1 year there. I live alone, I'm in my fifties, and I have no partner to rely on and no safety net.
That was 3 years ago. Tomorrow we finish Spring semester 2014, and I will have made it all semester teaching WITHOUT MISSING A SINGLE DAY.
I didn't even do that well back when I had my choice of all PTSD meds at my disposal. The so-called "normal" colleagues I have don't do that. Ha! I am definitely spiking the football in the end zone and doing my end zone dance tomorrow. I was so stigmatized 3 years ago at work that this turn around now deserves celebration.
Your support made this happen.
Thank you all. Thank you so much. The support of DS PTSD has given me real results in my life. I hope the same support is going out to you.

I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying. I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there. I think that I will start writing in it again. It's so therapeutic.

First, I hope everyone is doing well, and continuing to fight that good fight! Keep up the great work on yourselves; I'm rooting for all of you!So, I started doing therapy at the beginning of the year, when I was in my most depressed state, but with my therapist, I made big changes and steps in the right direction. But, over a month ago, she couldn't take my insurance anymore, and I had to stop...
