I voted "no," because when I was first diagnosed, I was able to continue work. I still work (at the same job); however, there have been times over the past 6 years that I have had to take a sick day (or two or three) because of the PTSD. It is also difficult because, as a teacher, I am often forced to confront things that set off the PTSD, such as things my (teenage) students are going through or even certain books which make me uncomfortable. |
