afraid i can't answer your question but i'm right there with you. my therapy has been so difficult, i've had two hospitalizations in two weeks, i keep getting tons of 'flashbacks' during working hours. i'm worried about my suicidal ideation or worried how i'm acting infront of others. my work has suffered greatly. hard to focus, concentrate. my mind goes many other (bad) places and that shakes me up for hours. my work is way behind and even the day to day, things i'm supposed to 'manage', i can't coordinate things like i used to.
i just had my annual review today. i normally get all excellent or very good's. today was a coupld goods and mostly N's...needs improvement. :(
my boss has subtly suggested i go to part time "since that's basically what i am doing"-boss's words. i told him i can't either financially or emotionally, work is one stable thing in my life.anyway, there are days i wish i could just quit and get unemployment or disability for the next 4 months till all this junk clears up a bit.
sorry i went off about my own problems, but you are definately NOT alone.
i am struggling greatly with work right now.best of luck to you. i'm sure we can figure this out, and get back in the game...just time.

Plus all this worries about Going back to India/issues about my father/losing my exT/stress with my husband/plus my regular arthritis pain.
