yesterday
Hey,
I am a teacher, working in a Christian College that has become toxic. This toxic environment has made my condition escalate.
I have been diagnosed with Complex PTSD, Bipolar 2, and Social anxiety.
I am hoping to connect with people, so I can talk about my condition and how to manage certain situations.

Hey @Cassia77 - and a warm welcome to the forums.
Sounds like you've already got a lot on your plate that you're trying to cope with. Having to work in a toxic environment on top of all that must be so exhausting and overwhelming. It's not fair at all 😔. But I'm glad you know there are places like this to reach out.
I know there are other users here who are living with ptsd, bipolar, anxiety, etc. So I do hope reading their stories and chatting to others will help you feel less alone.
Feel free to also post in the Talking through trauma and PTSD space 💬
Do you know much about psychosocial hazards? Your workplace needs to look after not just your physical safety, but your mental safety too. There is a list of things they need to consider. Maybe being able to name the specific toxic elements of your workplace could help if you decide to make a report.
But also feel welcome to share some of your struggles here on the forums so the community can offer their own support and encouragement. (I'll also share a gentle reminder not to share any identifying details about your school).
Hope to see you around!
