I like this! They are driving me mad. Most times I'm too angry to be creative, but I LOVE this! Yes!!!! Its literally unbelievable

Oh. My. God. Thank you! Me too!!!+!

Oh yes! Thank you so much! I will MOST CERTAINLY be looking into this to weigh my options. School starts Tomorrow (I am a teacher). Tired of feeling vulnerable. THANK YOU

I agree completely. As an educator myself who is not supported by the system by which I am employed, I understand this all too well. I know schools. at least the one in which I work, are desperately understaffed in this area. That complicates things further

Thank you so very much for your support and advice. I am a union member, so I am pursuing that avenue first. However, as the union lawyers seem to be mostly motivated by money (this is not a lawsuit. . . ), I'm not getting anywhere. Maybe it's the inevitable EEOC next? As we all know, it's...

In a time when most employers tread carefully around ADA, as many of you already know, mine does not. ? In fact, if they weren't so ignorant of the law and in what they say they are doing is legal, I would be more inclined to let it go. I'm tired of having to "prove" PTSD is a disability

It will get easier. I have to believe that

Does anybody just not want to do this anymore? ANY of it?

Please do not consider yourself abnormal. What she is doing is NOT NORMAL and you deserve better. Of course it hurts like hell because, deep down, you know you have been manipulated and that you deserve better. It's going to continue to hurt, but with hurt eventually comes healing and growth...

Oh my goodness! Dont be sorry! I very much appreciate all the help and advice!

Most definitely. Thank you I did just this. ?Thats why my dr contacted me- to alert me that they are being contacted. ?

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this idea! I will most certainly keep it in mind for my "anniversary. " I appreciate such great words of wisdom from a place of support.

I flew into London on the day of the attack, as I was living there at the time and was returning home from a trip abroad. While I cannot pretend to understand what you have gone through, I have never in my life experienced such loneliness and confusion and sadness upon arriving in Heathrow...

OMG. I hate to belabor an old post, much less ruminate on it. My HR responsed that their inquiries are lawful, and that they will continue gathering documentation from my dr to support the need for accommodations. Fine. HOWEVER, they AGAIN today contacted my dr without my consent. I'm so...

The accommodations cost them absolutely nothing and don't require anything from administrators personally. In other words, the accommodations are, for the most part, fully managed by me. That's why this is so mind-blowingly angering! I think HR is pushing because I'm pushing back against their...

HR says they need documentation in order to continue my accommodations. The problem is that my doctor provides documentation necessitating my accommodations, but that never seems to be enough. The scope of their questions is invasive, intrusive and inappropriate. If the requests were...

Thank you. This reaffirms my confidence. I am in the US and this is not a drug screen

Thank you both. My thoughts exactly. They are looking for their counsel to discuss with my unions counsel. The issue at hand is that I am not comfortable sharing my medical records with their counsel, as its UNNECCESSARY. Neither parties are doctors, and as far as I'm concerned, as long as...

Update: As anticipated, with the new school year on the horizon, my employer wants to evaluate if my accommodations are still necessary. While I am ok with this, they refuse to acknowledge their attempts to contact my dr without my consent or their requests for info to which they are not...

Yes, this! You sound very much like my therapist. Ha ha. I dont know why I get so (briefly) offended. I mean it certainly provokes anger from me, but I cant control the ignorance of others-only my own reaction . Just wondering if I'm off base with reacting, to begin with.

I have some friends who loosely use language -usually associated with work, mind you- that, in my mind, mocks PTSD (ie: "It's nice to not feel sheer panic about having to go to work tomorrow. I still have PTSD over it"). This person HAS NOT been diagnosed, and while I do think I have thick...

I dont know if I have great advice for you, but I do understand what you are going through. Hoping this helps you realize you are not alone

This is about just what I said! My latest response (about harrassment) has now been delivered via president of my teachers' union. Let's see how well received it is on HR's end. . . Its extremely frustrating also because some of their actions stem from incompetence, I believe. For example...

Thank you for sharing your experience and perspective. It certainly helps encourage me to stay positive. We are finally on summer break, so I'm guessing there will be some respite from requests for a few months. But last August they started again, telling me that if I did not provide updated...

So right! Thank you
