The inability to continually stay employed is a problem
with PTSD.
The reason other Veterans,
you guys out there know what I'm saying, it's difficult
to keep a job when you get the feeling
that you're being stifled, you're being smothered,
you're being surrounded by people who don't know,
people who don't understand you or what you went through.
People who don't care, people who have the corporate goals
in mind and they don't care about the people who are trying
to get them to reach those goals.
So it's easier to leave and go someplace else
and try something else with someone else
who might have a better understanding,
who might have a better idea of what you're going through
and who might be willing to be patient with you
and your flaws whatever they might be.
When you find out that that didn't work you move
on to another job and it's repeating.
You need to find out why you're changing jobs
and if you can determine why, then you can work on that.
I think the best thing for you to do,
talk to a counselor at the VA.
They'll talk to you about it.
They may find that up to this point you've always had the
wrong job, maybe you need to be in a different kind of career
and they might help you with that.
Or they might tell you that it's part
of PTSD, let's work on that.
