I swear there is a conspiracy somewhere.

yes I agree,where is freedom of speech these days,we cant discuss medication on here,admin seem to delete posts when they like and do it even if the posts are not bad ones,we were supporting a fellow member of the thread whos input was valued and because they are gone for no reason at all without them given a explaination is wrong.

OMG Goodlife looks like our situations are spookily similar.

I must admit I have been lucky with my employer (I have been there over 10 years) and they have FINALLY agreed to let me move to another department doing similar work, but more importantly its where I worked before I had my first baby and my world fell apart. I am hoping this will make it possible for me to continue working there, my hours are also being reduced. I don't know if either of these are an option for you?

The Occ Health said just to see how it goes and if this doesn't work my health comes first, but my head is saying this has to work or else we stand to lose everything (Im probably over dramatic) but thats how I feel, There is no way I could apply for other jobs in my current state.

On the plus side I managed to pluck up the courage to email them (a bit of a cop out but I tried to explain how I feel) I think its important they understand.

I now just can't bring myself to see how in debt we are and if we can actually afford my reduction in hours.

Hi BB yes our situations do seem similar. We can't afford to lose my wage as although my poor husband works really long hours, I am the major bread winner. I get a good wage from my job. We are not really in debt as such, apart from a big mortgage. (that's not in arrears or anything). But we do have high outgoings, i.e. big mortgage and my daughter's school fees (she won a scholarship and a bursary but we have to make up the difference). Trouble is, if I was well then everything would be fine and we could afford to live as we have been doing, but if I am to unwell to ever go back to that job then we can't afford our lives anymore and I feel like you that we will 'lose everything'.

I'm just so upset and hurt. It seems so cruel, it's not as if we've been stupid and got ourselves into debt or anything (if we had then i'd say we deserved it) but because of such c**ppy senior managament and ridiculous work load and working conditions they have made me ill. Don't know what to do. Am starting doing Betterware tomorrow to bring in a bit more cash, although I know that won't replace my wage. Anyone got any bright ideas - I can't bear telling my daughter she'll have to leave her lovely school coz her mum is ill.

Don't have any easy solutions, Goodlife, but you have to look after your health, and if the job is making you ill, then it's not worth it. Start looking for another job, and stop feeling guilty. Do you have a spare room - could you get a lodger, or host foreign students? Could hubby find a better-paid job?

As Amber says - your health is the most important thing you or anyone else has. If you have to make short term cut backs...

I have a medical next week that I am bound to fail. They have brought it forward a month as in 1 month my work placement will have ended, so they are going to say I am able to work, so i'll lose over £30 p/w and go back to the basic level of JSA, which I think is 50 something quid a week and I have debts etc, so will hardly be able to live. I may have to find work, although I know it will make me ill, but unless you are on the breadline, don't make yourself ill.

I'm finding my work placement, for which I don't get paid, hard enough. Too many panic attacks and making me depressed.

The world is a complete a-$-s and I can't find anyone in it to have mutual support with. I guess i'm just one of lifes loners.

What's all this with QWB?

Happy belated B'day shazrobo!
