To add, I have secondary trauma, and while this is not al all PTSD, I have personally found that as long as I can make it to work in the first place (which some days is very difficult or impossible, due to various states of depression or emotional exhaustion) it is the best thing for me. I love my job and my colleagues. They are all very understanding and lots of fun. When I am laughing at work I am always glad I made it in.

Although my concentration is pretty shocking some days, I still get a lot of satisfaction from it. I am told over and over that i am holding it together very well considering my situation and most of the time I tend to agree.
