What are your experiences with Klonopin? I’m nervous to try, and that’s an understatement.

My employer knows about my accommodations, as we have engaged in the interactive process. But the fact of the matter is, they did not acknowledge several of them in a weeks timeframe and when confronted by HR, I had a panic attack.

About the employer?

So my employer failed to meet four of my accommodations within a seven day period, resulting in a panic attack for me in front of my colleagues. What would you do?

I absolutely love this response because it is something that I must consider. Instant gratification is nice. Don’t get me wrong but I need to find some thing that sustainable to feel empowered. Thank you thank you thank you for the reminder.❤️

I. FINALLY. Did. It!!! After 8 years of harassment, I filed a harassment claim against my employer. Finally feeling empowered

I had an event last week that required me to meet with HR and consequently, I had a panic attack. I just can’t seem to get over this in seven days. Rumination?? I don’t know what it is ? suggestions? Help?!!

Thank you. I appreciate your candor and support and words of wisdom

This is absolutely the best advice I have heard in a long long time! I remember your advice many years ago when the initial accident happened, I appreciate the fact that you have always supported and provided sound guidance along my journey. Thank you!

So for me, one of my focus areas of treatment has been trying to navigate being surprised by unexpected things. The initial accident and all of the injuries accompanied with it and blah blah blah is what really contributed to my PTSD. I don’t handle any kind of surprises or abrupt changes in...

Yes! Absolutely THIS!! I agree that my panic attack should be done and dusted by now, but like I said, I have never had one in the last seven years at school. I think like a lot of us can recognize, we never know when it’s gonna happen and it just so happened to occur now. I appreciate the...

Trust my therapist. Very few panic attacks. But had one with HR!!!! So so terrible

In the craziest part… I let my principal know that I would not be attending graduation. He responded with the fact that it wasn’t acceptable, but didn’t question any of the other teachers who emailed or did not.

So to provide a little more context. I am a tenured teacher who has devoted 25 years to this district. I’ve only had accommodations for the last seven years. They are pretty basic: they include things like not having to attend assemblies, and instead, being able to supervise in other places; a...

Nope. He is in the office. Just not returning my texts. I called. Ugh. What now?

I have been doing CBT for 3.5 years, and of course, this year has presented various challenges-for all of us- due to the pandemic. To that end, in the one session I have had with my T since the start of 2021, he explained how busy his practice is as a result of the challenges presented by the...

Not that this is reassuring, but I too work for a school system that has broken all the laws and neglected to ensure confidentiality regarding my medical condition(s). As many have accurately voiced on this forum, schools- moreso than other employers- should know the laws better than most due...

Thank you so much! Health to your family as well!

So according to our contract, I needed to have requested a LOA 2 mos ago. However, these are unprecedented times, so not sure if the contract is form in the LOA respect. I'm also considering FMLA, if necessary, but that's only 3 mos. I'm in chicago suburbs. Numbers keep going up You guys...

I am meant to return aug 10. No social distancing. 30 kids per class x 5 periods= 150 students. 5 days/we With PTSD and GAD with panic, I know I cannot do it. If I cannot take a LOA, I'm afraid I can no longer teach. It's so hard!

Your stats are wrong. You are welcome to take my place in the classroom

I agree. Fully. We are considering kids' social emotional health, and, yes, if it were safe, the best thing would be for them to be back with their friends and teachers. But what happens when children and teachers die? What about the social emotional effects of that? I cannot go back to the...

My thoughts exactly! I'm opting to keep my children home to remote learn, and I'm considering taking a LOA or retiring. It breaks my heart that we are prepared to risk the lives of so many innocents just to reopen the economy

Union is involved, but it cannot guarantee much

Ok. Just got the official word Despite cases rising, we will be returning to school full capacity, full contact, with no social distancing. I. Cannot.
