ibs my get me the sack? meeting at wor tomorrow.

god i feel so bad at mo. i hvae just been told thta i hvae to attend a disaplinary hearing due to time taken off ill. most off thta time i was off i was signed off by my gp becuase of ibs and stress. i hvae spoken to the people at the mental health unit and thye said thta thye can get me on some benefits as thye dont thnik i should be working at the mo. thye were so nice to me there. she sat me down and listened to whta i was saying and said to see her tomorrow to see whta happened at work as she thinks thta i need help wiht stress caused by my work as thye are so horrible. she said thta maybe losing my job is just whta i need. thye can thne provide me wiht more surport on a dairly bases. tomorrow after my diserlairy hearing i hvae a yoga lesson there so she said to denfitanly go to it even if i am upset as thta will help to calm me down.

i feel thta may be being reffered to the mental health unit could hvae been the best thing my gp could hvae done for me in the sense thta it will help me to deal with going to see another gi as well as other prolbems i hvae. thye also said thta thye can get me help with my english as what i am doing at mo is not great.

i am hopeing thta things will strat to take a more positive turn for me. something has to soon. i cant be thta unluckly can i? at least sometimes i still hvae my sense of hurmour which sometimes evdades me.

Thats correct, It sounds like you do need to take things one day at a time. Meeting with the mental health unit is a good idea, they may direct you to take a step back at the moment and slow yourself down. (stop to smell the roses).


It might sounds like a huge adjustment to your life now but you need to realise that it starts with adjustments. You health is now your number 1 priority.

Surely they cannot fire you for being ill, especially if you have doctors notes to cover you. Does your place of work have an occupational health department or human resources?? You have done nothing wrong and you can't help being ill. They are contributing to your stress and making you worse by this disciplinary. They should try and help and support you more to be able to cope at work with your illness instead of treating you as though you have done something wrong. I am sorry that you have had to go through all of this. When I was nursing, i had a year off sick and my workplace was very supportive and helped me get back to work. Good luck with everything - do not let them walk all over you. Take care

If you feel that way about working there put in applications in other places when you can.
