I also worked for government and feel I was targeted, gossiped about at work, bullied and disrespected, and pushed out of my job because of my PTSD. My former employer, I believe is not done with me. I was denied unemployment for the second time (the reason was not made clear to me) and my...

Sorry for the delay Happyjock. My former employer was a government agency. They are running off people deemed unfit by committee. I was talking to the former 'Chief Plant Operator' (retired) who told me what happened to me isn't new. The difference is I'm pushing back, a glutton for punishment...

I got a job through an agency last week. Went through all of the hiring BS the first week and was let go on the way to work the second day of the second week via text because I can't work 57 hours-6 days/week. When hired I was told the position was 40 hours/week. I haven't been paid for the time...

Diet and exercise are very important. I've detoxed from the anti-anxiety drugs, and that was really tough. I use a guided body scan when my mind races at bedtime. The one that works for me is; Mindfulness Meditation by Dr. Myrna Weiss DSW. It's a Guided Body Scan/Relaxation that takes about 22...

I really appreciate this platform, it helps me understand I'm not alone. I wish I had the time and ability to contribute more. I've decided not to post anywhere else for the time being. It looks like I will start working again even if it's not the job I really want. I need income, and the...

That is just what I feel is needed. Right now I'm at a friends house high up in the Rockies and the suns coming up. Last night he and his awesome family and neighbors have shown so much support that I feel now that it'll be okay. One door closes and another opens, trust in your higher power.

Yes. I'm waiting for a 'right to sue' letter from the EEOC. I filed the complaint after I cleared the HCV on 9/2014. Then I have to do a FOIA request. Then it's $2k to settle and $7K to go to trial. No income, still no job offers, and I'm applying for work. This is what you do to get...

Thanks. I need to vent; I lost health insurance and now I'm off medications and scared. The detox took ~2 weeks and was hellish! I've been denied LTD insurance and no response on an appeal. My former employer will not talk to me about the retirement I earned in the 13 years I worked there. The...

Employment is 'at will' were I live. I was fired after I admitted I was diagnosed with PTSD because of an OTJ exposure that gave me HCV. I was fired on paper because my employer said I demonstrated violent behavior. There's no true record of this EVER occurring. It started after I complained...

I lost my job when I told my employer after an hour and a half of interrogation that I was seeing a psychologist and paying out of pocket. My former employer told me that PTSD is not an allowed behavior (I know what PTSD stands for) and therefore my employment is terminated. I had applied for...

This is a sad truth. When I lost my job after admitting I was diagnosed with PTSD because of a workplace injury, I was told that is not an allowed behavior. I was speechless.

I was terminated on 1/26/16 from my position with a government agency (Special District) after I notified them I was diagnosed with PSTD resulting from a workplace injury. I filed a complaint with EEOC in late 2014 and I'm awaiting the "Right to Sue" letter that will allow me to move forward...

Welcome, this is the place. I just joined myself and I would suggest telling your therapist everything so you can continue to function. These professionals are not supposed to disclose information without your consent.

I was told I need two lawyers. Got a reference. Now I have to see if they will help me.

Already have, this is good stuff!
