Hey guys.

I’ve been with CDCR for 2 years. Administration, is terrible. Supervisors don’t care about the front line staff. Mandatory holds destroy home life. So I’m thinking about making the switch. I’m applying for correctional officer 2 as a lateral with Placer County Sheriff’s office. More pay, better retirement and I can transfer Calpers over. I got my PAEL certification and just was sent my PIQ questionnaire prior to my interview. Asking to see if others have had a similar experience going from state to county and information is appreciated!

Thank you!

Hey guys. This is not like me. Normally I shut up and continue on with my day. But today is different. I’ve given up on trying to hide it. I have ongoing panic attacks. Followed by racing heart, and a feeling of “it’s all over”. I’m 30yr old. Mostly healthy no serious heart issues or medical problems in my life. Started working as a correctional officer and eventually it all came together. Doctors, ekg, blood. All of this comes back normal. No issues while exercise, some family members have experienced similar issues but for some reason I feel like this is only happening to me. I feel like I’m stuck in a loop of panic. I get symptoms, I panic, heart races, feel like it’s the end, don’t know what to do. And then it stops. PLEASE ANY ADVICE OR WORDS TO HELP ME. I would appreciate. I feel like I’m not going to be able to see my family again. Thanks for listening I’m just a dad who wants to continue being the best I can. And this is blocking my abilities.
