Agreed.. last few years, before my mental health, um, snap, was 3 years on the Orion team, Orion Support Special...
Honestly, had I not experienced the mental health break, on April 23rd 2017, i would never have been able to guess at the power of the brain.. it's made me sick for my entire adult life, off and on... oh, over 23 years i think 12 disability cases for various things related to my doctor diagnosed severe #PTSD, all approved, took days sometimes, other times months, but I was ALWAYS a high performer , just hella bad attendance during my issues.. then i have the worst break of my life, on the day i was supposed to report to my new FEEDER DISPATCH SPECIALIST, which I was forced to pick, or take pay reduction and plop me in HR. oh everything bad hit me all at once when my Aunt died. I ended up in a ball, knees pulled up in fetal position, rocking back and forth just sobbing and wanting to die. They took me to VA ER, where I was admitted to mental health ward for 7 days.. tip of iceberg, sorry, I gotta stop typing, getting worked up. Therapist (Phd) has admitted me into a new Cognitive Processing Therapy clinucal trial program at the VA, it is very intensive, and reserved for extreme severe cases. It took 18 months of failed treatments to get to the CPT program, they said typically it's 6 months to 2 years of intense therapy, they say I'm not supposed to think about ups because of how angry it makes me. It took me a long time to gain the balls to bring this to my fellow Upsers. Please help?
