Compounding dv and career ptsd

TW What Worked For You?

After violence, court, multiple moves im exhausted. I was laid off in January and have had interviews but no offers. I’m out of money and will move in with my sister. My unemployment benefits only ran three months because I was misclassified by a tax dodging employer.

I don’t know how to be less avoidant and be more hopeful. Not only was my sense of safety and drive taken from me but my will to work has been shattered by multiple exploitive and abusive male bosses and workplaces.

I’ve been sexually harassed a lot through my career and I don’t know what it’s all for sometimes when even the women I work with are just playing the corporate game with no regard to for human life.

I want to be strong but after 6+ years in my professional career with my degree I feel like it’s gotten me nothing but anger frustration and pain.
