      Hi, unfortunately not. I did open up ladt summer and they were supportive. Then he sent an embarrassing letter to my employer and they have totally switched. Work used to feel like a safe haven, not anyone I constantly dread another letter. Plus my employer has since referred me to occupational health due to my poor memory, accused me of (detail removed by moderator), been negative about my written work. In the past, I have been praised by several employers for the fact that I get on with everyone and the high quality of my work. Now, I also dread the next criticism from my employer, and I really struggle just to walk through the door, and hold it altogether. If I am still on antidepressants after a year, my employer will refer me again to occupational health as this will be classified as a disability.

      Thank you for your support. I feel awful. The tears just come. Today I started crying at work but pretended I had been sneezing. I just want to run away. The case is possibly going to court, it will be sent to the CPS any day, guess I am just worrying. I had been doing ok, but I feel very low. I am really struggling to keep going at work. It’s draining constantly putting on a brave face and masking how you really feel.

      Hi I feel so very low today, I can’t stop crying. I picked my phone up to write a message and it’s some kind of relief to find others had already written what I was struggling to write down. I have increased the dose of antidepressants and am anxious I can’t take a higher dose now and feel as though I am not coping. Everything is overwhelming and everything is too much. I am constantly on high alert its totally exhausting.

      Thank you so much everyone for your welcoming and reassuring kind words. Whilst I am nervous, I am really looking forward to chatting to others on here. Xx

      Hi, I have escaped a relationship and I too am experiencing being discredited at work. He sent a letter to my place of work and whilst my employer was initially sympathetic, they were angry with the content of the letter. This has resulted in me feeling increasingly isolated and dreading the post. Work is no longer a safe haven.
