I look forward to reading your work. After a RIDDOR reportable workplace accident I saw how toxic that workplace was, instead of recovering, I started to develop PTSD type symptoms. I resigned as I couldn’t put my close lovely supportive colleagues in danger when I had a panic attack. I’m gutted I had a real flair for that type of work. I took a few months off, did therapy and now feel Iam better. I still cannot cope with loud unexpected noises, all the emotions I suppressed to survive the accident resurface, but hey, we are all a work in progress. It’s shocking how many people are scared of/refuse to acknowledge that mental health is something that wobbles for all of us at some time in our lives. I am so grateful to my fellow HSP’s sharing understanding and healing. 🩷🩷🩷
Sarah, thank you for sharing so openly. It sounds like an incredibly stressful time and I’m pleased things are better. Healing from these situations really is a work in progress and a journey- finding ways to cope with the everyday whilst also understanding and connecting to the deeper roots.
Toxic workplaces are one of the most unacknowledged causes of distress and trauma in our modern lives today, so I hope anyone who is going through this currently, has gone through it or is simply interested in learning more, will consider signing up to Matthew’s new project Toxic Workplace Survival Guy.
