Hi everyone. Unfortunately the meeting today didn't go so well. I have been suspended on medical grounds. I am extrememly upset. I went straight to see my social worker who has arranged an appointment with my psychiatrist and herself on Friday morning. I then went to see my GP (second time today). My social worker and GP aren't quite sure that what my work are doing is actually allowed. My Doctor and social worker both think me working is the best option. However, work obviously disagree.

If I can get a healthcare professional to say in a letter that I can work unsupervised, work in a dispensary and work dispensing medication then I can return to work sraight away. However, my social worker doesn't think work can ask for information in this manner and needless to say my Doctor wouldn't/couldn't write a letter. So it looks as though I will have to wait to go through the process of work refering me to a Doctor and them saying if I'm OK to work. Area manager thought that I'd get an appointment in about 10 days

*sigh* what a crap day!

Apparently I have the Crisis team visiting me later this evening.

Hi there? Would it be ok for me to join the thread? I have suffered on and off from depression since I was a teenager. Have been on antidepressants for the last 14 years or so (god that's a long time). Admittedly I am on a very low dosage now which I don't think is actually doing much good, as I still feel very low most of the time. This time of year doesn't help does it.

Sorry I haven;'t had time to read many posts:o but hello to everyone and I hope you are all ok.

Hi Cat:hello: Let me be the first to welcome you.There is no need to ask if it is ok to join everyone is welcome here.You are right about the time of the year lots of us are feeling really low at the moment.If you have been feeling really low for a long time maybe it would be best to visit your gp,he may recomend an increase in dosage for a while.Feel free to post as much or as little as you like you are among friends here .

Hi rose!

My bum and legs are aching so badly after yesterday-and they say its worse after 2 days, so I dread to think what I'll be like tomorrow... :eek: I've been waddling instead of walking all day, so I decided against any exercise this evening!

I have tae bo tomorrow-my class is filled with "older" ladies rather than skinny ones! But they're all much better than me... Our teacher is quite big, and one day she said to a girl that she was the teacher. The girl turned round and said "I would've thought you'd be skinny!" To which the teacher replied "well think how fat I would be if I didn't do it!" :rotfl: Great lady she is. Did you enjoy the class? It gets easier I promise!

I think spinning is exercise bikes, but I'm not entirely sure. OH does it and they make him just cycle for an hour! But that is army training, so don't quote me on that!

Enough exercise talk now! How did you're meeting go? I hope all is well with you.
