Dissociating At Work

[Ustabe]

I appreciate the discussion that has been going on in this thread. I have spent 6 days at work basically getting nothing done and came in with the idea of asking for suggestions on how to get off the dime. Had never heard of "DBT" before. Doing 20 minutes of reading online brought me back to the meditation practices I was using back 35 years ago when I went into therapy the first time ... and which I had completely gotten away from.

Thank you.

I've consulted all my docs and several safe and trusted friends on this, and gained a new determination to get work done and save my job.

I also came to the realization that the valium I have been taking had a temporary effect of sleepiness and "flatness," where I just couldn't seem to care about anything. It came to the point where my electricity was almost cut off, and I didn't have gas money to get to work because I didn't deposit my paycheck...

Things got bad, things are better, it's a relief. Now if I could only figure out how to keep things on track for the long term!

Get a crush on someone at work. Then you have a distraction from your PTSD and have trouble not dissacotiating at work. Worked for me ;)
