Question
billy2
I had a C&P for PTSD a few weeks ago. I was under the care of a private shrink in 2004 for about a year and I never told the VA about it.
It was a job related issue and I took a few months off and I needed a medical diagnosis to cover my absence under FMLA.
I was a supervisor and fired someone and he lost his appeal and it was final. This employee had a history or violence and crazy behavior.
He told people he was going to get me. I asked the agency what they would do to protect me and I was told nothing could be done.
I went to the shrink and he put me on Zoloft.
As far as I can remember we never really got into the combat issues. I know it was mentioned but our main focus was on this individual that had threatened me. The shrink said I was suffering from PTSD.
I never mentioned this because I didn't want the VA to say my PTSD was the result of my job. The doctor recommended that I leave my job if at all possible.
I did leave my job a few years later because I could no longer function in a hostile work place.
