- Tuesday morning at 9a.m. I have that big meeting about my PTSD ADA accommodation with my department chair and my dean at the college where I teach. Yup, that again. I got them to postpone it until tomorrow because I have a psychiatrist's...
- Today Monday I taught my classes and functioned well. No low grade PTSD feverish feeling like I had last Saturday. I did, however, have repeated little moments of loss of concentration from PTSD during the day. I'd be talking to someone, and...
- I think my boss's treatment of me has gotten to me this semester. I had a day of low grade PTSD anxiety, like a low grade fever. I used to feel that as a kid growing up in a war zone on the mission field when there had been combat in town for...
- I've been upset to see images on tv of the hurricane that hit San Juan, Puerto Rico head one, but I've gotten openly angry at the second earthquake in Mexico this month. I spent part of my elementary school years in Mexico and I have taken a group...
- Last night I went to see the Canadian band Arcade Fire in concert. Oh, Canada! Do you ever have some wonderful, talented musicians! It was not only an interesting show full of great musicianship, it was a rare joyous show. I'd just heard the...
- On August 28th I had a meeting with the college vice president, my departmental boss, HR, and my union rep where I work to ask for an ADA accommodation due to my PTSD so I wouldn't teach overloads any more and just teach the normal load for my...
- I'm writing about how my boss continues to drag on my PTSD ADA accommodation at work in detail again here now with a crisis tag for 2 reasons:1. to document it all with you friends as my witnesses that I wrote it all down as it happened on the...
- I gave myself a night out to a sports bar to watch my KC Chiefs play the SuperBowl champ Patriots. No disrespect to any Patriots fans, it's just that the Chiefs were such underdogs and yet my Chiefs won! It's a silly thing by comparison to all...
- This is a post asking you to look at a post. Things got worse and I am asking for support.
- Workmates update: yesterday in a fit of gratitude I sent out thank you notes to those who were in the PTSD ADA accommodation meeting you supported me about on Monday at the community college where I teach. I almost didn't because, well,...
- Today at 1pm I have my meeting with my department Chair, college VP, and HR head about my request for an accommmodation in my teaching load from overload to normal because of my PTSD diagnosis. If you have the time and the inclination, please...
- I just heard from DS staff about the latest on those pesky log in and posting problems we've been having. Their message said "we believe we’ve identified the cause of the login and posting issues some have been experiencing lately, and we hope...
- I quit teaching an overload course today. I'm overextended at work. Teaching an extra 6th class as an overload is beyond my normal load of 5 per semester and I can't do it. It's the first week of school, and today it was too much. I nearly...
- TWLast night I posted support to another member's thread here at DS PTSD saying their situation reminded me of when I was a kid in a war zone overseas and I saw a guy get shot and die. I still read the daily newspaper of the country overseas where...
- I haven't posted for a support need for a while. I've been saving up my support requests for this big one as I go back to school. It's good I could make myself wait like that as it means I've been learning to self-soothe with my PTSD. Things...
