My mental illness

My psychologist toldme the other day and I told her that I had a letter from my psychiatrist that says that I shouldn't be in that hostile work environment right I haven't seen him since 2007 he said that in the letter he hasn't seen much of an improvement he said that my situation has actually gotten worse and so my new therapist wants to take a look at the letter and see if it's done correctly and I'm thinking I don't know why she needs to look at it I mean I don't know if she's going to say it's not right or something he says that I stress myself out and that's why my hands get shaky and I start my stress myself more out and I get nauseated also all the time now with dry heaves

probably she wants to take a look at it for her notes. Maybe talk about it with you. How do you feel about the letter. Do you think it’s true about the lack of improvement etc.

Thank you. Taking pictures sound like a lot of fun I hope you have fun today doing that I was kind of struggling today when we went out in public to the stores me and my sisters I really don't want to go out in public anymore I feel it I feel very I feel like it's really hard and I don't want to deal with anybody anymore even going outside is a stretch for me I really don't like going out in public I feel like there's too many people judging me and laughing and criticizing me because I can see it in their eyes that they look at me suspiciously

Most people barely notice anybody. Everybody is on their phones. Even now I'm on my phone at Walgreens waiting for my flu shot. So don't worry about people judging you. Even if they are, who cares, they don't know you. They don't pay your bills or sleep with you. They can take their own opinions and go jump in a lake!

Yeah, it is people-ly outside but there are good things outside. Trees, birds, rain 🌧️ etc. Keep pushing forward. ❤️🫂

Stress and anxiety can def effect our job performance. That leads us to more stress and anxiety

Perhaps she may be thinking if this has been ongoing that you need to make changes? Maybe she is looking for a pattern in order to know how to help you?

Before you submit the letter ask her intention. Personally I would ask her to write me a letter of why she is requesting it. I like a paper trail

Wishing you the best

Dolphin, thank you I hope you're doing well also I just had a kind of rough day today but it was it got better at the end of the day when I got home and I didn't have to deal with anybody outside but I just wanted to thank you for the good advice you just provided me about doing a paper trail that sounds good to me it was also thinking about discussing it with my psychiatrist and leaving a message with them before I even send her a letter

Hi

I'm glad when you come home you feel better.

Def discuss with your psychiatrist. You are not obligated to hand this paper over so think about it Get another professional opinion and then ask the therapist what her need for this is.

I don't think she intends any malice. But you need to feel ok about the decision.

Hi Geinki,There is no harm in providing a copy of the letter as a courtesy to your psychologist.

Think of it as you being the postman delivering a letter between two mental health professionals (MHP).

I have sometimes not always conveyed information correctly between visits to the MHPs. This hasn't been on purpose but due to my foggy memory from depression.

p.s. I am considering early retirement on medical (mental health) grounds after a 12 month struggle. The return to work was more stressful than the stress before 🤔

Wishing you all the best for the future 🐈‍⬛

I feel like retiring, too. My psychiatrist wrote in the letter that my xondition has gotten worse. Thank you for everything. Im wishing you the best also I just feel like she might see something negative and say that it's my own stress that I'm causing and stuff but she's underneath therapist and everything but I'm kind ofwary@ about that part when she says that I feel like she's going to say there's nothing wrong with me and then all my stress is kind of in my head because she said that I caused a lot of my own stress and stuff like that and I feel like she's going to break apart with the doctor but I'm not sure

I’ve had jobs where I couldn’t deal with all the stress. Sometimes you just have to find a different type of job. It doesn’t mean you can’t do anything. People all have skills they’re good at and some where they’re not. Don’t give up hope that you can find work doing something.

Hi G.Were U or are still in that work environment?

If U are then maybe it's a concern by ur doc ( psychologist ). It may give them insights of how U were back in 2007 & may help get some new paths in helping U unlock a few inner doors that are impeding ur path .

DodgeDhanda in reply toNothingnoted

Do U feel that he is right? Or he wrong both ways that U feel its improved with things U do to make life work better U or he wrong & it's got worse & it's harder to manage everything ?

I hope what ever they say or do it actually benefits U.

Also we all here for U too G.

Unfortutuanstely no psychiatrist lined up. Im having severe trust issues also

DodgeDhanda profile image
DodgeDhanda in reply toNothingnoted

Oh no & have U reached out in group about how others have dealt with trust issues.

Me I have sort of abandonment issues as both my parents died when I was young , also after 16.5 years ex wife walked out on me & the kids too. So I know it's not my parents fault as they had no choice in the situation at all & I am learning everyday about me & I hope I continue to do so too.

I hope U get the help U need
