I can’t cope

Here it all goes again. 😢

Hey @Captain24 , how was work?

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.

@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 💕

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.

Hi @Captain24

Ooooooh noooo!!!! I'm so sorry to hear that. I am off for now but back in tomorrow. I hope you are ok. Will talk tomorrow. Keep reaching out tonight and take care.

Hanami ❤️

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 💜

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?

Hope it's a step in the right direction for you and you see some health improvements @Captain24 a healthy lifestyle can make such a difference for our mental health, I feel. Wishing you all the best with that 😊

Hopefully it is just something small @Captain24 with work.

I would struggle to eat 6 times a day too, I struggle to eat once per day. That is a big mindset to change.

I'm not that good
