The depressively optimistic moneysaving thread

Sazbo

Thanks AB xx I know this thread is a hug-free zone, but I'm afraid I've never been a respecter of rules, so have a big hug from me anyway and what the heck, same to anyone who wants one, or indeed doesn't want one:D:D :wave:

Much love to all,
Sazzy xxxxxxxxxx

Just to help you think things through heres a couple of things that have been poted before.
1) to challenge your thoughts
What will happen if you do ‘X’
What wont happen if you do ‘X’
What will happen if you don’t do ‘X’
What wont happen if you don’t do ‘X’

I'm sorry that I am sending you this message, but I am desperate, depressed and beyond despair. I suffer from mental health issues, and I did a terrible terrible thing at work which ended up with me getting the boot :-(

These past few months have been very very difficult for me, and I have been taking on everyone's problems while losing site of own. I ended up falsifying and putting extra days down on my timesheet at work for the last few months, and I have been caught out.I owe over a thousand pounds(or could be more), and I have explained and emailed my employer and the agency that I am prepared to pay back every penny that I owe. I did not mean for this to happen, and I am now worried that I will end up in prison or with a criminal record, if they do decide to pursue this through the courts( which they say they might do). I am not proud of what I have done, but I was desperate and I was not in the right frame of mind to think of the consequences of my actions. From what they see, its a very very serious crime that I have done, and although I except it, the guilt is eating me up inside and I am beside myself with worry.

Initially I was too scared to post on the board in case I got abuse, but as I sent a PM to the thread starter I was encouraged to explain on the boards.

I have an appointment with my GP next week, but feel that I have let myself down big time..I have been to the GP in the past for my depression and anxiety, but everytime I feel like I am getting somewhere positive, I end up taking 2 steps back. I am having difficulty in coping, and court will push me over the edge. Please offer me some words of advice at this difficult time

Hi and welcome, I'm sure you'll find some good support here. I think going to see your GP is a good first move. As for work try not to worry too much (I know easy for me to say), a few thoughts, were your time sheets not signed off by a manager or supervisor? if so they are also responsible to make sure they are accurate. Also you have offered to pay them back. Hopefully with the support of your doctor and taking all this into account you can try and settle this without the police getting involved. Good luck and keep posting. Sssssss.

worried 1 - Hopefully it won't come to anything legal.

Hopefully your GP will back you up. It always helps when a professional is on hand. It makes people take notice of your side of things more.
