    Good luck with your meeting Shaunie, I really hope it goes well. It’s good that universal credit are helping you out with it x
    The steps you take don’t need to be big, they just need to take you in the right direction.

    Hey Shaunie

    I’m really sorry to hear you are feeling so shit. How did the capability meeting go today? You’re right, reasonable adjustments are a right of employment and glad To hear that universal credit are helping with it. 

    Have you spoken to your family about what happened last week? Hope it’s helping to talk to us here too. I know I’ve said it before but we really value you here, you just consistently support everyone else. I hope at some point you will be able to extend some of the kindness and compassion you have for others to yourself. 💜

    Sending hugs
    Lucy 
    Treat yourself as you would treat a good friend

    Heya

     it went okay. She wasn’t rude. Probably because a supervisor was in the back ground writing everything that was being said. She asked me al about my mental health which I wasn’t expecting.  Like my diagnosis and how they affect me generally and hope I feel now and what I’ve been doing as a result of that. It took. Over an hour:///. But yeah don’t think I’m going to lose my job anyway. She said need to be referred to HR to get out come. 

    But most likely going to receive a call from occupational health

They won't see how strong you had to be because you had no other choice. What they will see though is how compassionate you are because you experienced pain. What they will see is how kind you are because you experienced how cruel the world is. What they will see is how good you are because you've seen how bad things or people can be.

    Like shit. But yesterday I was calm with diazepam. Told me to take two everyday but I want to save them up lol. Not to overdose but for worser  days. I’ve been fast traced to the mental health team to get put on mood stabilisers as GP can’t do thag

    Heya thanks! it went okay! Lasted for ages it felt ah. I didn’t say that must. Didn’t even wanna introduce myself at the start cause was too scared lol but didn’t speak eventually. Basically it’s just the first two are to see if you want to carry on with the group. And if so. It‘S DBT for 20 weeks which yeah that’s quite good and can choose if want it or not. I mean I do. But I don’t like the video calls. I’d rather face to face so i don’t know

    Hey Shaunie, glad to hear it went ok altho understand video calls can be uncomfortable. Do you reckon you’ll carry on with it? Were the other people on the call nice?
    Treat yourself as you would treat a good friend
