My life feels like a mess

Just looking for support really. My life was going really well until I met an awful man in Sept, since then it’s like a black cloud has followed me even though I got rid of him after a few months.

I am in trouble at work for speaking up to a very disrespectful unprofessional MD. He is not even my MD, i said him kissing his girlfriend in corridor even though he is married. I didn’t mention that but I had words with him about something else in a respectful manner. He is now saying I swore at him. I did not it’s a lie.

Then last week I was driving to work skidded on ice and blew my tire out. Everyone now gets alcohol test at scene. I had not been drinking the night before, I rarely drink these days but road side test was inconclusive? Had to go to police station to blow on the big machine. I could not blow for long enough to get a result after 9 attempts. I kept pleading for another chance but no they said I refused test so now I’m about to lose my license. Unless I can get a doctors note to say I have asthma or some other condition which I don’t! It just seems so unfair I didn’t even drink the night before at all.

Dont know why I’m posting life just feels shit, logistics with chikd and work is going to be hard work. Anyone else had this happen?

Wouldn't they do a blood test instead? I don't think you'll automatically lose your licence , have you contacted a solicitor at all?

I could not blow for long enough to get a result after 9 attempts. Is this really try? It seems very unlikely.

Standard procedure is if you fail to provide you are automatically assumed to be over the limit and punished as such.

I would ask to see the GP’s asthma nurse and get them to check your peak flow and if it’s low to just note that on headed paper.

I’ve only been breathalysed once (about 20 years ago, I left my cracker hat on a Christmastime and I got pulled over, was on antibiotics for a chest infection at the time) and really really struggled to do it as well!

9 attempts was very generous! Why couldn't you do it?

Only allowed a blood test if you can prove with Dr that you have a condition and I don’t but I had just got over chest infection.

I don’t know like I said I’d recently had a chest infection. Bloody hell people think I’m lying I wouldn’t post if I was lying

Often get great advice on here. Yeah I’d had a chest infection and bad throat. Not very helpful advice from some knobs today mind

I believe you. Sorry things aren't going your way. All these things can seem overwhelming when they occur at the same time.
I had a chest infection a few months ago and still feel I haven't got my full lung capacity/strength back. Go to the GP and get a peak flow test done. Lots of people are suffering like this after having coronavirus too.
Hope things get better for you soon. ❤️

Thank you I will try that which might give me evidence. I barely drink had no reason to purposely not give a reading I simply could blow for the amount of time required.
