Re: Stress & Depression Biggest Cause of Sickies
Paul hasnt told you this as he probally thinks he needs my consent to do so. I suffer from bi-polar, which is quite an extreme case of depression. Paul used to think that it was all in my head, I wish!!!!
I have had to take a hell of a lot of time off work to get my medication sorted out and so I can go see a shrink and sort my problems out. I was like coggys nephew I felt a total let down to society, and then I met Paul and had the boys which made me think, I need to do something right and just and I found my choice in a career which shuns mental health, even though a lot of referals I do is to go and be seen by the mental health team.
Yes it is a real illness and it is about time people sat up and listened to us, we are not mad!! Like a colleague once labelled me, we are not outcasts, we need to be taken seriously and no we do not kill each other, just misunderstood!!!!!
