It doesn't seem to role into one long memory because I'll talk and have flashback about one then go to a different one and later return to the same ones. Each time, the feelings and discoveries are deeper. That was a good question.

There were management changes that were toxic and my manager was targeting me and retraumatized me. I was cutting at work 3-4 times per day just to get through the day. I knew that if I did not take the leave that I was headed toward hospitalization. Also, that I could not return to work.

I had to stop several years ago because I just was melting down, too overwhelmed with the emotions and my lupus was flaring horribly so I was in so much pain. You showed great fortitude by continuing on with your work. Do you still work now?<BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/>TamaraTamara (TC) Stapleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00633350990983632539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8131937402880667955.post-57829369034850767512008-07-17T02:53:00.000-07:002008-07-17T02:53:00.000-07:00I can relate to what you are saying about work.
