[quote=Anonymous]I'm a domestic violence victim. I left 12/2016, finally divorced in 2019, and it was a long road between 2020 and 2024 to put it all back together. I went through five years of therapy and 2024 was an awesome year. Everything came at me in 2025 and I fell apart in August. I'm just now pulling myself out of a rut. In a series of horrible work situations last years, I was fired by the administration (HUD), then severely injured by a student while teaching, and, finally, most of my programs were cut (think FEMA-related). I have spent the past 6 weeks working my way back out of a good hole. I'm taking some language classes for fun and experience. I am starting back in some group therapy in a week or so. I have a good routine to get myself back on track.

I'm looking for work, which is daunting in the current state of things. My main concern is that I will put myself into another bad situation and end up falling back down in that hole. I'm still disassociating sometimes, my short and long term memory can be cagey, and I go through some periods of a little depression and some anxiety. For those who have some sort of complex PTSD, how do you cope with a new job, new people, new environment?  What do you find that works for you?
