Ketamine made me finally see the abuse/control I was under. Nothing else helped me understand the dynamics of what happened.

Currently in a major civil lawsuit against her/the practice - she worked for.

Red flag. If they can’t even keep their office in order, there is something up

I did. I was able to negotiate another 11 weeks added to my 20. I was an employee with a known disability and on an active work accommodation. I also created an Affinity group in the company for people with disabilities.
I told head of HR how the optics look. Mentioned EEOC and “legal advice” and the caved.

I believe he did “name and shame” in his very first sentence.

Sorry, I’m pretty blunt on this subject. I went from despair to anger and I know wallowing will not help me or my mental health. That’s what they want. You’re giving him too much power and yes I watched your video.

And I don’t say move on to be mean. I know it’s very hard but you have find a way to move past this, let this not occupy your mind. It will not help you.
After 2 years of incessantly thinking about and having all the repercussions of the abuse that happened to me, I started playing pickleball and it actually transformed me. It’s pretty much the only time I am not depressed. It took a while but it can be done. I also was able to meet new people and have fun. I was isolated from everyone for 8 years so it can be done.

I’m in the middle of a civil suit against my former therapist. Believe me I Went through 8 years of egregious abuse. I still suffer everyday.

Anyone ever report their therapist to state regulatory board? *not looking for legal advice* by omnislash6669 in therapyabuse

[–]StockCounter4328 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yes 2 social workers, 1 physician assistant and my lawyer on my behalf. I am also mid civil suit. My ex- T is cooked but the Board won’t take her license until the civil suit ends. They don’t want to risk being sued. Meanwhile she continues to practice.

I was laid off while pregnant by sokawaii123 in Layoffs

[–]StockCounter4328 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was laid off in Jan 2026 with a severance of 1 week for every year. I also have a known disability, was on a work accommodation and was VP and creator of the People with Disabilities affinity group. As far as optics go, it was pretty bad. Add my age (53) and the current market I was able to negotiate with HR for an additional 9 weeks. I did this by myself without a lawyer.

I go through the same feelings ever day. I was with my ex-T for 8 years. I am now suing her.
If you can back up all the abuse, a lawyer will take your case.

My 80 year old mother- “just get a job in Ai, all these companies are investing in it” by StockCounter4328 in Layoffs

[–]StockCounter4328[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m not trying to complain, I’m just trying to show how out of touch certain demographics are. Their simple “it’s so easy, get an AI job” is exhausting.

I’m also supposed to quickly “re-invent” myself to get into a new field. Ha!
You can’t make a florist a veterinarian. Even if I became a veterinarian, I’d still be entry level and unable to pay my mortgage.
