My brother in law says worst thing is I lose the job and go on benefits.
So it’s not the end of the world.
I have always decided I did not want to take advantage of the company I work for by forcing them to action, but the stakes are high, and I must give it a try
I have been there for three months, and I have been off sick for one month
My performance is not the issue, rather the length of time working, and the stresses that are being placed on me is unreasonable for someone with my mental fragility
Just avoided a massive relapse, and just recovering myself back up, but this time I need to have some sort of flexi arrangement to survive in the job and to be well
The only thing is I will be putting myself out of the running for a new role/promotion, but I question whether I’d be able to cope with running a small department anyway - the most I have managed is 2, and this would be up to 10 people
As long as I can afford to live, I am happy with that situation
You know sometimes you just a need a job that works for you. Im doing a job where I won’t be moving up but it pays good enough and the stress is low. Thats more important than a promotion I think.
The key is having another job to go to, not keeping a shittee one, to avoid the hospital. Better yet, figure out a type of work you can do, without an employer, and acquire the skills to do it correctly.
Hey matey. Sounds like some good policy. I’m glad your taking stock and have some direction to go in. I think that helps a lot. I’m poor with future planning but it’s so important. Hope you get some good things in place moving forward.
Just need to give it a go, but with trying to minimise my chances of damaging my mental health
Eventually I will be just unable to cope at all
I have fallen and gotten up a lot of times in my life, and I can feel the recovery getting slower, and me being more sensitive to issues than before each time it happens.
It scares me. Bt I am not ready to completely give up yet
Life isn’t easy. No one ever tells you that and you get dxed and it’s just out with the wolves for most of us.
I think your on the right path. Your dog looks so cute and it’s so good for you to have a pet. I’m sure you can figure out something with work but ultimately it’s worth a shot. One foot in front of the other is the only way I know of doing things these days.
He’s doing great! After 2 days he’s day-time toilet trained. The nighttime he does go inside, but I read online that he’s still at an age where he can only hold for about 4 hours.
I am going to try tonight to leave the kitchen door open, and put the puppy pads in there and see if he will go where there is a hard floor
