If I can just make it to noon Friday I will be able to fall forward across the finish line in this marathon that this semester has been for me at work. Since I asked for an ADA accommodation for my PTSD to work a normal load instead of constant overloads on my job, my workplace has been more stressful, not less. Just this last week I had to have another meeting with my bosses about it. Every meeting has been triggering, as you can imagine.
I haven't taken a sick day over it. I've stubbornly refused to miss a class because of what I know it might mean, and I haven't even been late once. Outwardly I'm keeping up appearances, but inwardly I'm struggling. I've kept up with my face to face work well, but I'm way behind in answering emails. I didn't get to sleep until 4:30am last night.
I need a break, and Fall Break begins Friday where I work...

Supportive hugs, Patti
Knee, you put it into words perfectly: my boss is putting on a caring face while being passive/aggressive behind the mask. I don't know if she is doing it deliberately to harass me as persecution. I don't think so, I personally think that's how low her level of maturity in personality development is and she can't help herself. I think she's like a lot of folks in that that's how she treats people and office politics is always what she's entangled in because of it.
Anyway, I happened to run into my boss yesterday, and I mentioned that out of self care I was going easier on DS PTSD and that you all had my back here. So I asked her if she'd do the same at least for the next two days until our college's Fall Break when I could get a rest.
She had no choice but to say yes, since I used you as an example of what supporting your coworkers should look like. That's how much your support here means to me, y'all. It's exemplary. Thanks for it once again.
I came home after meeting her that way and got some sleep for once. One more day, one more day....
