Confident
I was hired back at my old job as of Monday. I was away from work for a few months because I was in university.
I last worked in August and it was at this time when I was diagnosed with PTSD. I had no clue that going back to the same workplace would trigger me so badly. The traumatic events that I've experienced do not involve my workplace or anyone I work with. However, I have been completely disabled with panic attacks each morning when I've tried to get up and go to work. This is a huge setback for me. I have recovering quite well up to this point and was completely surprised by my anxious reactions.
I managed to go to work on Monday but have not gone yesterday or today. I left a message with my manager today explaining that I have PTSD and have been suffering from panic attacks over the past couple days. I have not heard back from her yet.
Any advice?
