Well I'm finally home (again).
4 hospital stays in 91 days. Wow. No wonder it feels so strange to be in my own house again. Adjusting will take time. Cooking for myself will take time.
My house is in the same condition in which I left it. A pigsty. So no one room has warmth and charm to lift my mood. Will have to slowly start cleaning up - one room at a time.
I did go and watch my son play soccer in the finals. I'd been so sick this year - thst it was the first game I had been to all year. His team lost. But they play again next week. So still stand a chance of playing the grand final.
My son is still living with my mum. Has been since the end of April. Hopefully he will see how much I've improved on my new anti depressants and anti anxiety meds. Then he may choose to come home soon.
Was up and doing the washing early this morning. But now reading a book in bed.
Am very bored. But have AA Meeting tomorrow night.
And I have my WorkCover IME (independent Medical Examination) - psych interview with a tough psychiatric on the 30th of this month. Think it could be on Wednesday. And then I have my much waited for Psychologist appointment. Can't see him when I'm in hospital (too far away).
So that's it for now. A new thread for a new beginning.

Re: HOME

OMG @utopia Just read about your latest issue with workcover They are determined to drag this out and your former manager needs a reality check in all this. I hope your lawyer sorts it out and you get what you deserve Hon - absoutely ridiculous that these things take so long and they don't take responsibility for their lack of care . Furious for you but hopeful it will all be ended soon. Hugs and hugs and hugs my beautiful cocky friend

Thanks @Faith-and-Hope . I have that wattle tattoo. But mine looks better.

Thank you @Zoe7 . Been 6 years. I'm so over it all. I just want it sorted out and done.

Re: HOME

That is ridiculous @utopia You have been through so much in that time and so much of that is due to the process on top of the actual incident. If they had accepted the responsibility that they should have this would have been over a long time ago - and you would not have to continue to suffer because of it

How are you doing otherwise?

Re: HOME

My ex workplace would never admit liability. They are instructed not to.

I'm doing well. Surviving this lock down. Just go to the supermarket for 10 minutes to do a quick shop. Then back home again.

Have started colouring in again at night. Stops me getting too bored.

I hope you are well.

Re: HOME

Yeah I can imagine they wouldn't admit liability - wish people were more open and transparent though - would make life so much easier for everyone @utopia - especially you.

Lockdown doesn't really affect me either - work, supermarket. chemist, bunnings - all the things I usually do still open and the rest of the time I usually spend at home anyway. Not actually looking forward to isolation relaxing a bit because there will be more people around and take longer to get to work and home

Hey @utopia Been a while since I have seen you here so checking in to see how you are and how all the compensation stuff is going. Love and hugs to you

Re: HOME

@Zoe7 Haven't heard anything further since WorkCover tried to say it was my fault. And then my lawyer and I refuted their claims.

Am starting to slide backwards, depression wise. Sick of being locked up in the house. And it's cold and grey. Feeling sorry for myself.

Staying off SANE at moment coz don't feel the best.

I hope you are travelling ok and that work is going well.

It's almost 1pm and I'm going to bed. So so tired.

Re: HOME

Oh @utopia that is not good. It is so ridiculous that you are still being treated so badly and the case has not settled yet. The further strain you are being put under is paramount to bullying in my eyes and they should not be allowed to get away with it. I bet you just want it to be over though and hopefully that is done sooner rather than later. Look after yourself my beautiful cocky friend - don't let them beat you down
