Re: I can’t cope
Heck yes @Captain24!! I've always said, one of the best things I ever did for my mental health was to study it, may this bring you insight, meaning, and purpose!

Re: I can’t cope
Hi @Captain24 , that's amazing you are hoping to work in mental health!
Good luck today - I think you might be at work already if you are ona day shift? Are you still on light duties?

Re: I can’t cope
I know no one is around but I need to get this out anyway.
I know some of my triggers are my parents, ambulances, hearing people say ‘I love you’ especially parents and children and not sleeping after my last night shift.
I discovered today that a massive trigger is my immediate boss. I was hoping to join the team of the new boss. But no I am stuck with the other one. He doesn’t give a shit about me to him I’m bipolar not me, not a person. I have an illness I am NOT my illness.
It’s triggered me massively and it has put me into a really really dark place. A place I’ve worked so hard to get out of.

Re: I can’t cope
@Captain24 I am really sorry to hear that you are having difficulties with your boss.
Have you spoken to someone about this?
Were you working today?

Re: I can’t cope
I only found out today that I have to continue with him @Friendlyflutter. He is away for the next couple of blocks. He is kinda like second in charge as he has a smaller group but I’ll try and talk to the other boss this weekend.
But basically I have to just cope with it. If it gets too bad I can go to HR. After I discovered it today I no longer love my job. It’s just a work place now.
I need to move past this. I need to sleep to get up and go again tomorrow.
The thoughts are really dark though.
Yes I’m working all of Easter. I drive a big truck in a coal mine so it doesn’t shut down.

Re: I can’t cope
I’m laying here in desperate need to go to sleep but I’m having flashbacks. What is this shit. This doesn’t happen to me. I don’t get flashbacks.

Re: I can’t cope
Hi @Captain24 , just wondering how work is going? I think you are on day shift of 5 days straight...
Are you still on light duties?
Hoping you can avoid your triggering boss as much as possible... 🫂
