Bit of a ramble following another shutdown...

Starbuck

Yet again I have had another shutdown at work and have been sent home.

I was off work before Christmas due to the shutdowns and started to feel better after a few weeks.  I have only been back at work for just over 3 days and I have had another one.

As a result, I am now worrying about my security in my job and the prospect of finding another job in a similar role.  Since my shutdowns have become worse, the director of my department no longer speaks to me and I have yet to see the follow-up from occupational health.  My boss appears to be supportive, but I am aware I am bringing little value to the company at the moment.

My confidence is currently really low and I am frustrated I can't manage things better.  There seems to be no help and support as I am considered to be very HF and so don't qualify for adjustments, support, guidance etc.

I was wondering if anyone else has been in a similar situation and whether you manage to get the help and support you need?

I am worried about my employment as I have a hefty mortgage to pay with no financial support from family etc.  I can't afford to lose my job as I have been down this route before and ended up being homeless.

Sorry for ramblings and lack of cohesion, my anxiety is very high and I still haven't recovered properly.

  • Thanks for your contribution everyone as you have helped me with some really useful information, as well as helped me to put things into perspective.  I have been offline for a few days just to get my head together, but the recommendations on apps, biorhythms etc. are all things I am exploring to help me understand what is happening better.  Sadly, I am not good at recognising my emotions, so this is something that needs more time and practice.

    I am now trying to be more positive and I have taken some active steps to address things at work as well as they haven't honored some items that they said they would follow-up on.  I think I have realised how bad I actually was last week in general before the shutdown, and I am still feeling fragile in some ways now, but trying to handle it better.  (sensory sensitivity becomes more of an issue following a shutdown)

    My brain is a bit mashed following work so I am going to keep it at that now to save mindless ramblings that don't make sense to anyone.
