Why Am I Having An Issue

[sasywtch]

My workplace is going through major issues right now of which I cannot give exact details. Investigations.
I developed PTSD a few years ago from an incident a work. I told my new boss and she told me that she'd have to find me a job elsewhere as she couldn't have two employees who couldn't get along (keep in mind, the other employee should be the one in trouble, not me-I felt how rape victims feel when they feel like they were to blame). The other day, an employee told me that the boss told her she thinks all the staff have PTSD and need counseling. I have to say that I believe no one else at work has PTSD (can't state for sure but everyone knows I have PTSD from work and no one but one who retired a year ago told me they also have it) We all talk so it wouldn't be uncommon for someone to tell me they also suffer from it.

I am a target of the boss (along with 10 others), she knows there is something going on. I feel like she is taking the PTSD lightly. I feel highly offended. I don't think those who do not suffer from PTSD get why it upsets me. Would it be ethical for her to state she believes all her employees are bipolar and need counseling? I don't understand why it's ok to say it about PTSD. Can someone give me some insight to why I am so highly offended as others do not understand why it upsets me. I feel she was making fun or light of a mental illness that is also under the ADA. But others don't see that.

I am a little confused by some parts of your post. Are you saying that your boss think you all have PTSD due to an incident at work?

I'm not saying your wrong about no one else having PTSD at your work, but some people are more private and don't tell anyone personal like that at work. Some people don't like to be treated differently because of it. I don't want to be defined by PTSD or treated differently, because that would only make it worse for me at work. I would love to have things different at work to reduce my symptoms, but I'm not willing to risk my privacy with my employer. My employer is not safe emotionally.

Everyone at work is not happy. A lot of people are complaining. Therefore, boss says "everyone has PTSD and needs counseling. I highly doubt all 80 employees have PTSD. I believe she was lashing out due to being under fire. I happen to be one of the targets due to my initial complaint regarding removing me from my trigger at work (above comment re: me finding another job). I've thought a lot about this today. I don't feel it was appropriate to state all her employees have a mental illness whether it be PTSD, bipolar or anything else. The reason why work was informed is due that it happened at work and I had worker's comp.

Ha, could be the workplace I left over 6 years ago. Was stalked there, all of a sudden several females said they have been stalked too. Then I got PTSD, and again all of a sudden people popped up who claimed the same thing. To top it off when I figured out that I was sexually abused as a child...... yep, you guessed it, all of a sudden people were talking about that too.

Then a boss came to my aid by explaining to me that a well known prostitute in that same building should be listened to...........

Can't get worse in one of those soap operas........

Sounds like people are denying you, denying your health problems, denying that there is a real problem at work....

Been there, done that.....
