Must be so embarrassing when you get struck by lightning and everyone can see your skeleton

Busy day. But one important thing happened. #VoteBlue

The fact that you haven't yet found the employment situation that works with your CPTSD instead of against it-- that acknowledges & manages your triggers associated w/ feeling trapped, controlled, or "in trouble"-- doesn't mean that job doesn't exist, or that you won't find it.

Avoiding that "in trouble" trigger requires trauma survivors to consciously, intentionally frame all our deadlines & goals as supportive & aligned w/ our true values & wants-- not potential opportunities for failure & punishment. Don't set yourself up for emotional flashbacks.

Micromanaging trauma survivors without our invitation or consent is an excellent way to toggle our "controlled" & "in trouble" triggers, no matter how supportively feedback is framed.
