Not Coping

Hi @amber22 How are you going today?

Hey @Captain24 ! I'm doing alright today, feeling pretty exhausted after being up so early (my body woke me up so early and I couldn't get back to sleep so I just stayed awake and powered through the day). I'm working so haven't had a proper chance to rest but can't wait to have a big sleep tonight (if my body lets me this time!!) How are you today?

It’s really annoying when you wake up early! @amber22 I hope tonight passes quickly for you. Hopefully you’ll be that exhausted by the time you get to bed you will sleep.

I think I’m a little too good. I have done so much today and still want to keep going but my back says no! One of the bosses at work called me today to checkin after standing me down. He said that as long as I get the fit for work certification I will be right. Still a little worried though just not as much. The stress has taken a massive toll on my body and sleep though.

Hey @FloatingFeather @amber22

That’s good then hope tomorrow is the same then.

Im alright just found out my nan is in ICU so that’s a bit upsetting and affecting my depression and all that a bit just another thing to be sad about now I just hope she doesn’t die or something.

Sorry about your Nan. Hope she will be ok.

Sorry to hear about your nan @Birdofparadise8 ❤️

It is very annoying! Aw thank you, I hope so too, I really need a good nights sleep tonight @Captain24

That sounds really sweet of your boss for calling to check in on you. What is it that you are worried about necessarily? I'm glad that your worries have gone down a little bit though

Hey @Birdofparadise8

I'm sorry to hear about your nan, I hope that she is okay. Sometimes I find it comforting when family members go into hospital because I know that they are getting the proper care to help them, and that they are in safe hands. Did they mention anything else about how she is at the moment?

Sending hugs,

I got stood down from work last week @amber22. for mental health reasons. They said I’m not to return until they get a fit for work certification from the GP. I know the GP will do it as I’m fit. I see my GP Thursday and then I have to wait until HR ring me and confirm that I can return. I’m scared that they are going to fire me. That’s my stress in a nutshell!

Ahh I see, thank you for sharing that with me, I remember I spoke to you when you first received the news, but I am glad that there is a bit more structure as to what the next steps are now! If you are confident that your GP will see you as fit to go back into the workplace then they should be happy to rehire you, I don't think that it would be legal for them to fire you on the basis that you have complex mental health, that would be discrimination (especially if you medically have been deemed to be okay to work!)

One step at a time, and I'm sure all will be fine. I believe in it. Have you been up to much since we spoke last week? @Captain24
