PTSD at work

I have been falling apart at work everyday at work. This gu named Brandon sexually harassed me there about 2 weeks ago. This happens to me about 1 to 2 hours before we close for the night. I want to kill myself, cry or cut at this time. Can I get some advice on how to control these feelings until I am able to go home and go to sleep. I have already fallen apart on 1 manager and 2 employees. Each day that I go to work, I feel fine, but I come out feeling the worst that I could possibly feel. This is a big problem for me. I need to fix this, but how?

did you report this guy to human resources? sexual harassement is usually taken quite seriously... what about med's? sound like you might need something to help you through this..

Looks like a good case of HR and Short Term Disability.

I would report this guy to HR.

How about getting in with your therapist ASAP and trying to get in for an appt with your Pdoc?

If it's really bothering you, maybe some short-term disability may help, as DarkSign suggested.

Don't let this creep cause you to self-harm...Stand your ground...Tell him to NOT talk to you like that. Report him, document his words, actions used now before you forget them.

YOU have the POWER...Don't let him take your POWER away.

Good Luck!

I would report the guy who sexually harassed you immediately. Your company has an obligation to protect you from harassment. You have a right to a safe work environment and right now you don't have one.

If they don't take action, they open themselves up to a lawsuit by you, so, they should step up to the plate as soon as you tell them.

If they don't act, talk to a lawyer. Seriously. You shouldn't have to put up with that.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
