Hi Marine,

I think the ADA route is advisable. is the boss you get mad at responsible for sorting the paychecks, or is that an HR thing that's causing you grief?

Either way, explaining the situation as calmly as you can will come in very handy. You might want to write out your thoughts on the situation, then re-write without the curses, so you have something you can read from in a meeting - it will help you stay calm. Make sure you point out the repeated paycheck errors and say how that causes you extra stress - which is not in your health interests and puts you at a disadvantage compared to other colleagues who don't have ptsd.

most of all - take care of yourself!

People have shared many good suggestions. It's important for me to be reminded that I have choices and options. That's the easy part. Weighing the pros and cons of each one and the short-term vs. long term results of my options is the difficult part. Most difficult for me, doing something that is uncomfortable and doesn't feel good even though it is what's best for me at the time.

I have been quite irritable at work and less tolerant of their b.s. It's important to me to keep my side of the street clean and not say something I'll have to make amends for later. Sometimes, keeping my mouth shut and not reacting to them is extremely difficult. If I can't say it with respect, then I don't say anything at all. This leaves me feeling like a damn passivist which pisses me off. Accountability is important to me as well. I may be having a difficult time but I am still responsible. To help me with this, I re-connected with my sponsor, started going to meetings again, and I contnue to see my therapist- even though I don't want to.

Let us know how this work issue goes for you and take care of yourself.

Thanks for all the advice!!

Things have cooled down, I work nights alone. I'm lucky to have this job and just need to remember that everyday.

I'm keeping records incase things go south, I'll have a Lawyer ricky tic....

God Bless & Semper Fi

Glad to hear it has cooled down at work for you. Documentation is an incredibly valuble way to cover your butt. And...Semper Fi always.

Did you try apologizing and explaining the situation? Maybe the other party would understand and be forgiving.
