Hi again Barbie , OK thanks for update and extra information . As to work compensation and you mention employer is a bully , get a referral from your doctor to see a psychiatrist as you need to get specialist to verify your condition as stress and not just going through an emotional state . I recommend not participating in any employer related assistance as whatever you tell their consellor , psychologist will be used or taken out of context and used against you when it comes time for decision on your case .. it is a case just like any court where all evidence is produced and determined on that , Try to get the assistance of your union as not only medically you have to support your case but legally , the issue you are defending and the medical condition you are suffering. Regardless , just because your compensation has been accepted does not mean it is confirmed that your employer is responsible , they will fight it. Also be prepared for your compensation to be rejected and all the associated costs .. doctors , medication , leave taken , etc to not to be repaid by employer and even worse as you are considered a problem to the employer may be considered that your work is not up to standard now as a reason to dismiss you ... sadly this is reality . The situation of not being paid accordingly is common , you can also try the Fair Work Ombudsman for your work dispute ,

Hiya again barbie , just checking to see how you are . Don*t question yourself , you are not in the wrong or have done anything to deserve the treatment you are going through , it is simply a case of a bad boss / manager / employer and so typical these days . If the psychologist is provided by your employer as part of the compensation claim then you are well founded in your concerns about being judged and monitored . Your employer will be seeking all the details they can via their psychologist to fight your claim . Best to go to your own treating Doctor . In the long run , even IF you do win , you will not be able to go back into that work environment . No way to suger coat this , but you are better off making exit plans and look for a new job than go through more health issues with your current job.
