Everytime I say I’ve got PTSD, I feel like I’m setting myself up for “we’re doing this just for your safety”

And it’s not. It’s never for my safety. They look at me like a switch could be flipped at any moment and I could fly off the handle. I came out with this disability 2.5 years into a job and suddenly they are sending me to doctors, claiming they fear for the kids, etc. I was the model employee and when I’m triggered I’m get scared and sad. It’s happened at plasma centers, BioLife, for donating (in honor of a student no less). At no point did they ask if the things in the location could be my trigger. I just get fired or deferred.
