Hi wobily_lin,

Welcome to this forum. You'll find plenty of support and information here.

I think it is important you request at least 3 months sick leave. You just don't want the emotional cost of an employment issue arose. I've been there.

I'm a PTSD-er and have symptoms best described as mostly settled.

By understanding PTSD and the pharmocological and therapy options you can get this "beast" tamed.

I did lose my (very good) job over PTSD and I was discriminated against due to misplaced stigma.

It isn't a mental illness - it's a psychiatric injury ("nervous shock"). So hang on in there a lets hope you get better access to the right therapists, experienced in PTSD. You may have to be assertive and ask questions and get informed advice about medications you're being offered. Some meds can be quite inapppropriate and others have undesirable side effects. There is good info here. I found one med found to be most useful to me is listed in the meds info.

I hope you do become more settled soon,

hugs,

Antipodes
