Hi, Rene,

I wanted to apologize for today’s distraction toward the end of the day, as I know you’ve had to talk to me several times recently.

I felt it best to let you know the nature of my crisis this summer — among other things, I have been wrestling with PTSD from a past violent assault.

Today was a day where my mind started floating elsewhere because of my condition being aggravated by complications in my upcoming move, which I emailed you about earlier.  My husband and I are getting our bearings on the move again, and I just wanted to let you know I am definitely trying to improve in the area of concentration.

I hope this was not an overshare, but I thought it a good idea to let you know so as to prevent your interpretation of my recent wandering attention as my being disinterested or uncaring.

I appreciate your feedback and you’re getting me on track when you notice, and I thank you for your patience.

All my best,

Tim
