Hello

Trying this site out because I really need to get myself together... Scheduled to see a psychologist on the 2nd. I was diagnosed with PTSD and manic depression about 2 years ago after a sexual assault, and I haven't been able to hold a job for more than 3 months because of it... I just feel like I want to disappear... I was planning on becoming a parole officer by now, but the person I am now, and the person I was then are two completely different people now. 

Currently working on law degree in taxes since that mostly involves paperwork... but lately any mistake I make paralyzes me in fear of getting fired... I wont go into details, but I just work an entry level vault position right now... 

And my thoughts are racing because I don't want to seem to pretentious or snobby, since I'm often accused of that even though that is farthest from my intentions... 

Ugh. I just feel like giving up. :(

Being terminated from work.

This is the biggest one for me... I haven't been able to hold a job for more than 3 months for the past year and a half... a permanent job that is. Temp work has been okay. Around the 3 month mark I tend to make little mistakes, freak out about them, and quit because I'm afraid that my manager will fire me... (stems from my PTSD related incident...)... I was wondering if there were anybody else who had similar fears and ways of dealing with this anxiety... Confrontations nearly paralyze me...
