How do I move forward - I feel stuck

TeesCat — Wed, 24 Mar 2021 07:59:21 GMT

Hi All

I am a newbie, this is my first post.

I have been diagnosed with C-PTSD and with the help of some health professionals I am feeling a lot better. I do have an issue that I have not dealt with, I myself had not realised how this event had effected me until only recently. It is a second trauma event that occurred in the workplace, nothing sexual, I still work there. I have had a considerable length of time off due to the first condition. I am now finding that I am suffering from mainly gastro events at the thought of going to work. This has been occurring since I was cleared to return to work. I thought it was maybe my immunity was down because I had not been around people and that as time went one I would it would clear. It hasn't.

I am hoping that someone would be able to share with me some strategies that will help me so that I can continue working. I have to work, I love the work I do and the only way I can get a job somewhere else in my field is by being able to reliable and consistently being at work and doing my best.

(sorry if this is a bit rambled, my first post and I have problems asking for help)

Thanks

Hi, welcome

No need to be nervous ok.

A doctor can help you with this gastro condition.

The anxiety I once had would be the culprit with me and I had to overcome anxiety before unexpected gastro, crying or shaking stopped.
Here is a thread on that. Use Google

I have similar issues and I'd be interested in knowing strategies to deal with this too. Maybe it's worth following up with a doctor to see if you have diagnosable IBS because there's medications that can help with that side of things. I wish I knew better because this would help me too, honestly.

Take care.
