I continue to do the same behavior so when I ever going to learn a lesson and stop the negative behavior.

I go to a job place couple days---I am getting tired of being treated like sh*t and instead of confronting the problem or stop going I continue to go. I am not sure if I am hoping for a different result or just don't care about me. I am getting tired of the bull and I deserve to be treated better--I deserve better.

I am not sure what else to say about this.

Similar thing for me but the frustration grows and I blow up or just walk away. For me I think it is a lack of confidence and self-esteem that causes me to not be able to deal with the problem. I am not sure if it is a problem or just the way I look at things because of PTSD that is causing the problem in my mind only. It is also a fear of confrontation. I don't do well in arguements....don't like loud noises, yelling or people being upset with me. Lastly I have a history of losing when it comes ot confrontations. They seem to blow up into a big deal and I usually get blamed for starting drama even if the other person did it. For me I think it is just a feature of PTSD.
Where person with out PTSD can cope with office politics....I cannot.

Expectations are what keep leading me to this place. I keep expecting to wake up a different person, miraculouslly transformed by my magic just wand.

I started making progress when I started adjusting my expectations and finding joy in smaller, more manageable steps, such as standing up for myself in a single situation, as many times as it takes to draw a new, healthier boundary.

I don't know the specifics of your job, but my own experience is that walking away from it in one setting only guarantees it will re-emerge in another. Standing my ground has always worked better for me. Every time.

    Jay's podcasts are really good.  I watch them on YouTube for free.  Today, I watched his video about motivation.  In fact, I've been watching a few videos on this subject.  Jay gave us an assignment to complete the following sentence:  I am stuck because?  I don't describe myself as stuck, but to finish the sentence, I would say that I am stuck because I am tired.  When I have energy, I do...
