My CPN was there too.

My Pdoc said I seem to be disorganised and said might be worth reintroducing Abilify for a while to see if it helps and then review and look at my whole history again from scratch.

It may be rapid cycling. Cos of the disorganisation. I asked if I was psychotic she said no.

I’m happy. Except the CPN was condescending. She’s like it’s just family stress can keep it away from work , don’t take it to work , add your mental illness to your CV , you need to be honest. Wtf.

When she said something about the stress and how it connects to me not making an effort to look for work , I said I have an illness and small bit of stress can drain me psychically and emotionally to the point I don’t feel like I have the energy. I have made efforts to work but my only mistake was quitting when I felt I wasn’t coping. I don’t want a psychosis and be off work another 6 months. I hate my CPN.

Your CPN sounds like a right one :rage: I hate nurses that like to chime in on stuff they don’t understand.

Yes and she also said during probation period I need to prove myself … insinuating I can’t allow myself to be stressed. As if my moods are under my control.

Being so honest may be fashionable nowadays but employers have a lot of wriggle room when it comes to picking and choosing employees. It’s hard to claim you are being discriminated against when you have a MI.

I put it on forms. Not on my CV ever. She said that’s bad I have to be honest and disclose it. Wtf?? I will speak to my employment specialist instead. I think she knows more.
