To mention reasonable adjustments?

I have NC for this as I don't want it linked to my previous posting history and I am posting here for traffic as I could do with a quick response.

I have just started a new job. I also have a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder. I am used to being able to work flexibly and to have the autonomy to work from home. The new job has agreed I can attend weekly appointments (I haven't disclosed what they are for) but there is no give on start and finish times and I can't work from home. I have a long commute and the lack of flexibly is really affecting my mood (sounds petty I know)! I am stressed running about trying to juggle childcare as a LP and I know I can ask for reasonable adjustments but should I or should I just look for another job?

You need to disclose your disability to the employer and get referred to OH, also contact access to work because they can make suggestions as well. Your workplace should make reasonable adjustments, they would have to have very good reasons not to do so. Look at the equality act 2010, and get ahold of any policy the company has. Arm yourself with the info, do you have a formal diagnosis of borderline personality disorder given by a psychiatrist?
