Worried about occupational health meeting

[OccyHealthWorries]

I have an occupational health meeting for a new job and I'm worried they will say I'm not fit for work. I'm signed off my current job because of workplace bullying and the poor mental health it caused, but I know that I would be capable of doing the new job and, in fact, leaving my current workplace once and for all would do wonders for my mental state. What do you think Occupational Health's view on this would be - I'm praying they'll say I'm fit for work

Sorry I have no idea about OH. However, I wanted to wish you the best of luck. Be confident, be yourself and demonstrate as best you can why you’re the best person and you won’t be off sick at this new job xx

That’s not what they’re there for at all. I disclosed my mental health history to my OC department at my new job and they didn’t bat an eyelid. I have bipolar and have had periods of hospital admission

@Coffeeallday Thanks very much xx
@Ursulabea Thanks - that's good news. I'm just wondering if they'll think differently because my history is so recent.

I'm partially disabled with schizophrenia, I work in the NHS and nobody holds it against me when I apply for a job.
