Re: I can’t cope
I got home from work this morning after night shift. I had a shower and then had to go to a work event. I was really scared when I got there about going in. One of the girls from work arrived and I went in with her.
One person got up and told her story of how she got to where she is today. I found it really inspiring and have told HR I would consider telling my story at the next one! That’s massive for me.
Also.. the main talk was very interesting and it was focused around work but I took a lot on board around my life. It gave me the confidence to speak to one of the bosses around training!
I have had a really positive morning. I’m now really tired but I have an appointment with the dietitian at 3:30 so I can’t go to sleep. By the time I get there I will have been awake for 24hrs.
I am trying to hold onto the positivity for as long as possible.

Re: I can’t cope
@Captain24 well done on going to your work event. That in itself took a lot of strength and courage to go. I am so glad you got some positives out of it.
I hope your appt. with your dietitian went ok and you can get some sleep.
Take care 💕

Re: I can’t cope
The dietitian was hard @Snowie. I have a very unhealthy relationship with food. So I have a lot to work on and put into practice before I see her in a month.
I just got an email and I failed my medical for work due to MH and medications. I now need another psychiatrist review. I’m waiting on HR to get back to me with where I go from here. My job maybe on the line again. I can’t go through it all again. It was too hard the first time.

Re: I can’t cope
oh @Captain24
I'm sorry to hear that about your job. That must be hard to hear, especially since you do such a good job.
Even though the dietician was hard, it sounds like it was productive. I hope you can put into practice some of the things she suggested.
Here with you 💜

Re: I can’t cope
I haven’t heard back from HR but I’m sure I will tomorrow @Snowie. I’m hoping and praying it’s just a box to tick. This year has been pretty shit.
I have to eat 6 times a day! That’s going to take a lot of mindset changes.
How are you going?
