So I arrived here at midday today.
Feeling a bit lost. Everything is so ... strange.
Not sure what to do now.
Starting to get a bit anxious. A bit teary. Trying hard not to think, or to feel.
Wishing I had a bourbon or some chips or junk food. Something to keep me busy and not feeling.

Hi @utopia and all
Far out you just kick butt. Can you please come and stand in my corner with me? I sorta need someone who can fight so hard like you. I am incredibly impressed. All I want to do over the trauma at work is to run and hide, mostly in my bed. And you are right my Gp gave me a script for prns just to keep me going. I would really appreciate your advise - if you can find the extra. I just don't know what to do anymore - they discriminated big tiem because of my MH and threw the IMe thing at me which came out clean - however that wasn't enough they really went to town then. I know they just want me to go away. I am so struggling with being unwell and trying to hold myself together, it is really just breaking me apart. They did it - now on 2 occassions and to 6 other people. I hate not feeling able to do one single thing in my life because it has become so unbearable again. I am terrifed of acute as I was admitted 2x last year because of the utterly aggressive, discriminatory and bullying behaviour at work. I have no records that indicate that I have not done my job brilliantly. The targeting just got worse and worse, because I complained about the bullying and then became upset over a client situation - which will not leave my head. Disriminatory++++ psychiatric IME for you because we know you have a MH condition.
Regards and please reply
Bast

Hi @utopia
I am sort of losing track of what is happening for you - but I get it that you had a crappy psychiatrist and you have had to move hospitals and you are waiting for an admission
Your mum is so great - I do understand that you don't want to break down in front of her and it seems you are being offered some help at home - what sort of help is this? Domestic assistance? Respite care?
I hope you can get back into hospital soon - 14 days - that sounds a lot better
You have had such a bad time lately - I really care about all of this - and sorry the system is putting you through it
Dec [hugs]
