Hi there, I am a 22-year-old female from Australia. I have had around 7/8 jobs since I finished high school at 17. One of my more recent jobs lasted 7 months; that is the longest I have managed to stay employed full / part time. Around 16 months ago I had a psychosis and was hospitalized and lost the three jobs I was working. I was subsequently diagnosed with CPTSD from childhood trauma. I have been unable to work since or even comfortably go out or go to appointments and generally live my life. I am scared that if I go back to work, I will be retraumatized (I have been in some bad situations at work). I am also fearful that my employer could judge me based on my mental health history. Whenever I talk about my psychosis in detail, I have recurring nightmares that can last weeks and wake me up from my sleep. I have never posted online about my experience but thought I would come on here just to vent and see if anyone else has experienced anything similar. Thanks :P
