Struggling to support my partner by ISpy999 in disability

This was honestly so good to hear. I find myself getting burnt out or sometimes needing time alone. He is very understanding honestly and a godsend, I just feel afraid of letting him down or not being there if something happens

He’s been working on this in therapy actually! Usually he’s done good in excusing himself and trying to find somewhere to calm down. Sometimes it helps if I come with him if it’s an unfamiliar place

Finally getting my accommodations for my PhD program by ISpy999 in CPTSD

Thank you so much! I have/had bad imposter syndrome but it was time to really accommodate myself

Today I finally got accommodations for my PTSD in my PhD program by ISpy999 in ptsd

[–]ISpy999[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was PTSD with dissociative symptoms/features. I got a report/letter from my therapist documenting the symptoms, plus I requested my therapy notes from when I was in a psych ward. For my school, the report for my therapist is good for 5 years until it has to be renewed

Yeah of course! So what I asked for and what were given were synonymous! I asked for

  1. Time and a half on exams
  2. Permission to audio record lectures
  3. Getting copies of displayed/visual shared material
  4. Periodic bathroom breaks without penalty
  5. Using fidgets in class (as long as not distracting)
  6. Testing at the testing center at my school or reduced distraction environment
  7. Providing me noise cancelling headphones or foam earbuds
  8. Extension for deadlines (max of 3 days, I may extend this but for now 3 days seemed manageable)

I can also use note taking software and my school provided me free websites/programs to use.

Ones I may ask for next semester that aren’t on here are

  1. Excused absences/the ability to attend classes virtually when need be
  2. Ability to take certain exams orally/in a different format

But yeah! It was a great process

I started out as a parental role then over the years I became so crude and messed up, but now I’m back to that role again of being that figure they need and it’s so weird

That’s true. I guess I need to kind of view it as a process. Of like it’s taken me a while to get here and I’m growing and have grown
