2020 can just fuck off already.

Ugh I'm having a hell of a year
And we are only 11 days in.

My MH is fucked. I have a care coordinator (who I met for the first time today) who says I need to be off work.
Fine. But work are being dickheads and have been threatening me.
Basically called me into a meeting to tell me that if I am really unwell enough to need a care coordinator then I shouldn't be working and as I have been working and haven't given them a letter to state I have a care coordinator (because this has all happened within the space of a week via phone calls) they don't believe me and if I'm lying they will take disciplinary action because I'd make this up for shits and giggles

I'm not sleeping. Maximum of four hours a night.

I had a dicky stomach last week.
And now I'm full of a fucking cold!

Argh. My nose is streaming. My throat hurts. My head is pounding. I can't lie down because snot just falls down my throat.
It's fucking horrid.

So I've had enough. I give up.
Someone just take over for a bit for me and then I'll take control back when all this shit is sorted?

What has lead you to need a care co-ordinator OP? You need to get your GP to write you a line saying that you either need to do reduced hours and duties or need to be off totally

How did you get a care coordinator in a week? It took 4 months for me.

Boston I have no idea. GP told me to self refer to minds matter. They sent the early intervention team last week and they got me a care coordinator

Yappity I was off sick in September and went back on reduced duties but work are sceptical about all of it and are accusing me if lying.

I'm also autistic so these informal meetings, where I basically get called into the office and bombarded leave me in floods of tears unable to speak.
They are well aware of my autism and they just tell me it's easy to "turn in the waterworks to get your own way"

Anyway, I have a separate thread for my MH. This is basically just a rant about being ill and nothing seeming to go right for me.

It sounds as though things are overwhelming at the moment.
When are you due into work? Can you get to a GP before then to get a sick note?
In what way is your Care Coordinator supposed to help you? Have they put any support in place for you, or told you what they can help you access?

I think your first priority is to get a sick note to get your employer off your back. Then you can concentrate on getting yourself well.

I hope your cold is quickly better, and that you can put all your efforts into regaining mental strength.

Care coordinator was great.

She's told me to get signed off by GP.
She's phoning work for me on Monday morning then coming to see me again Monday afternoon.
She's also making an appointment to see the consultant and review my medication as it doesn't seem to be working (citalopram and quetiapine)
And she is going to sort all the forms to help.me apply for pip as my autism is a disability which significantly impacts my life.

I'm due in work Tuesday so will see GP on Monday morning.

I just want this cold to bugger off! And I think I have a coldsore starting... I've never had one before but the side of my mouth is incredibly itchy. Is that a coldsore?

Loads of garlic and ginger for your cold - it's not helping that you feel so rough . Might be a cold sore - put tea tree on it if you have. You can get Zovirax at the chemist but it's quite expensive .
