Thank you, @Wounded Scribe . You're right that I don't have to kiss up to him when he's being awful. I just don't know if I should finish this project or tell him I can't. The money would be nice and I know it'd be more professionally sound, but I also can't imagine getting through 140 more...

I've mentioned in a few posts that I have been dealing with severe PTSD already this year, and then last week there was a fire at my apartment, so my life is totally upside down, especially since I don't k now where I will be living for the next 2 months while they repair my apartment. I think...

Thanks for your thoughts on this. Like I said, I feel like he will be unhappy whatever I do, so sucking it up and saying I need more time is a good idea. As far as what he expects from me editing-wise, it started as a basic proofreading job (and even that would have taken longer than expected)...

I'm pretty stressed about a current professional situation, and I don't know how to handle it in a way that is professionally ethical but also offers self-care. I am a writer and editor. I took on a new freelance client, agreeing to proofread his (long) manuscript as well as tighten up the...

Hope this is the right place, as this is sleep related. I have been having severe PTSD responses for a while after a lot of different kinds of trauma. But things have taken an unpleasant turn now: on Sunday morning, a fire broke out in my apartment and I had to escape. My cat and I are both...

Thank you all for your suggestions--a lot of good things to think about. I think if I have a plan, I will feel much better. I just need to figure out a plan that I could be prepared to implement whenever. shandemonium, that is beyond awful about your dog. I am so sorry.

I live in a building that has an upper apartment and a lower apartment. My unit is the upstairs one. I like the apartment a lot, but I really do not like the downstairs tenant. On several occasions, including just a few minutes ago, he has completely yelled at me. He has never once been nice or...

Though I know that just doing almost anything will help when I feel really anxious, lately I don't seem able to make myself do anything when the anxiety takes over. I just lie around and feel awful. I am looking for suggestions not necessarily of how to reduce the anxiety but of kinds of...

Thank you all. And to answer questions, I am not a combat veteran. Med-wise, I take 1500 mg Lithium/day and 100 mg Zoloft/day. (And also trazodone for sleep, and some clonazepam I can take PRN, but am prescribed much less than I'd like.) I will mention that I started the Zoloft in February...

Since my PTSD symptoms kicked in really hard a few months ago, I feel angry all the time. Sometimes there can be a trigger, but even if there is one, it's usually something I'm blowing way out of proportion. Other times, I'm just angry and couldn't tell you why. I've tried a handful of...

I am in the early stages of recovering from whooping cough, which is altogether just nasty. Yesterday I started up early with coughing until I threw up, which persisted over a 15 hour span, resulting in me being so dehydrated that I had to go to the ER for fluids. During the mid-afternoon part...

Hello all, I was happy to find this forum just now when I Googled ptsd and indecision because that is a huge problem for me lately. I have had some form of PTSD for a very long time, but it's only been this year after a number of awful things have happened that my PTSD has very severely...
