In a bad place after a huge trigger please help

So glad to hear you are safe at home and with your girlfriend! You had me worried there

I'm still learning about disassociation coping but I can help with the job part :)

Good news is if you just had a verbal argument and if you registered your disability with HR you are protected under federal law and can't be wrongfully terminted

In fact this would be the time to talk to HR and straighten things out. Usually they would have a conversation with the people involved, make them take training and sign a document that they were trained on discrimination.

Make sure you learn and write down some HR facts first like which disability protection law applies where. HR can help however their main priority will always be protecting the company and not you... don't forget that.

So basically be charming but firm and knowledgeable so they can't mess with you or see you as a weak target... be a "charming threat" ... a nice sweet person who could sue their a**.

Try pure charming approach first though before you become both.

... and if they try to confuse you with terminology ask if you can get that in writing and take a note yourself - that will usually scare them to not BS you. Maybe even record the conversation as well to look back on but definitely have a pen and notepad or laptop.

It's like chess really

I hope this part at least helps!
