So after much hesitation, I went to our DEG - Disable Employees Group and I highlighted updates from the last and first time I attend, I got asked to ask my manger about some mind policy about stating how my brain injury effects me in my day to day work (I will add tomorrow what its called if Bruce comes on he should also be able to mention it) and as I predicted my manager has no idea what I was on about so I passed that back and I mentioned about yesterday meeting and how my mentor was going to de throne my line manager and collueage and the chair of DEG said she would happy join him in doing so (and I hope when I tell BIRU this they will want part as well I think I need all the backing I can get, even HWB said they would be willing to come in and explain the effects to our department as they have just done it to all the local job centres) and they want to do a internal story about what Ive gone though and how Ive been treated (as Im not the only one that has been shunned by higher ups and have the fight in me not to back down) as I said I want to build on my Headway article and they were delighted at that so watch this space I knew I survived to change the world its just taken me 10 - 17 years to make it happen.

I did also say that if our mayor wants this to have a effect: bristolpost.co.uk/news/bris...

it starts with the local authority to pave the way and get its staff better for the rest to want to follow and if he wants to get re-elected he cant just talk the talk he has to walk the walk to back it up and he did use to work in the mental health sector so you would think it would be one of his many many prioritises

And if I get asked for a walk out wwe style song into the "ring" against my manager to this would be it:

and I will re-irritate to them I am not a women to f&*k with and never have been !!! get on the wrong side of me I will may you pay (#warningtoeveryone)

I will also mention sorry I mean remind that everytime I mention to HWB that I am schedule to see BIRU I think they get worried as they have said normally BIRU would get involved Hmmm lets see when I went to you HWB asking for help you said you couldnt help me and passed the buck to BIRU who put me on this medication that caused these nearly career changing side effects and despite me expressing concerns over having to see the person everytime I come to the social group you run and how uncomfortable it makes me feel the only thing you can do it try and seperate us but it doesnt stop him looking at me why his now pregnant girlfriend smooches over you and Im sure its not just me that feel uncomfortable as they are view the group and a kissy kissy date trip when it isnt and even though "you have told them not to do it" they (like you) FORGET so I feel like I cant attend and you really dont seem to care enough !!!!

Im only going to add hold on _ wilson phillips to my motivation play list even though it reminds me of Robin WIlliam suicide and Im going to add this song it: Alicia Keys - Girl On Fire and beyonce halo and defiantly this has to go on the list the script superheros as well as Don't Be So Hard On Yourself | Jess Glynne and this one MEGHAN TRAINOR - NO EXCUSES and I want to sing this to come of my collueages Jax Jones - You Don't Know Me ft. RAYE .. sorry I went on a complete off on one I will go and listen to come babymetal and cool off Im so hot

Interesting play list (what is 'babymetal'?), I would like add a few more - if anything for the titles alone, but I am sure the records would be quite funky too. I will leave this too your own devices but my suggestions would follow the 'survivor' theme, rather than the 'touch and die' ethos - sometimes, you can come across as a little 'unpassive' I'm no rebel by View from The Hill, Caravan Of Love by the Housemartins or two for Darren could be Online (Brad Paisley) & Redneck School of Technology. A nice chillin' track is 'Papa's got a brand new bag' - James Brown (Not to be confused with 'Papa's got a brand new pigbag' which is very Jazzy-Funky and neither very chillin or by James Brown)

Thank for the complement on my playlist , I will share and update this with anyone else incase they find it useful its a exercise for both manager and employee activity :

my manager did find what the Wellness Action Plan was:

"I could not find on intranet but found on Mind Website

mind.org.uk/workplace/menta...

"

I still think Darren was a bit of a nob for not following his training in the first place. I have to say that a Japanese version of 'Girlschool' was very interesting and although I could get the basic gist, I don't feel tempted to learn the language. Any Japanese thrash metal sung by 'cutie pies wearing merangue dresses' is always worth a nod and there was a lot of audience participation. The band as skeletons was inspired
