today I feel like a 3 on a scale of 1 to 10. Don’t feel any better but I don’t feel any worse. I’m just worried that I’m gonna start comfort eating again and gain yet more weight. A battle that I’m fighting and currently loosing

Maybe comfort gaming or something else? Idk. I'm bad with advice usually. Either way, I hope you feel better.

No you're on it, that's what I do, just losing myself in a virtual world, yes it masks the true feelings for a period, but that is what distraction techniques are, or so my therapist said... but in my experience it slows it down into more manageable pieces, but each person is different.

Sorta OK. I've been a bit out of it this week. I think the lack of training is starting to get me down.

Annoyed.

Despite extensive efforts, Laura can't find the staff or the hours to attend the Lincolnshire Championships in Grantham next month! Fuck the care sector and the no staff issues!

I wouldn't mind but i gave her like, a month's notice, even though the entries close on Friday so I would've had to pay for the entry tonight.

hungy

Annoyed (again)

I've just got rejected for that Museum job I applied for last week, probably because I did what I always do and declared my disability issues and fact I can only do very limited hours due to personal circumstances! I wouldn't mind but direct discrimination's supposed to be illegal under the Equality Act.

I sympathise with your situation, especially when I am in similar circumstances, but the anti discrimination laws are not a "get a job for free" card. What they are meant for is that if you have two people who are equally suitable for a position, it is illegal to deny the position on the grounds of disability etc.

If you can't fulfil the job requirements, you wont be successful in your applications. If the job requires you to work evenings/nights, and you can't, you wont get the job. If the job is for 8 hour shifts and you can't work more than 4 hours, you won't get the job. If the job is to spend long times standing and walking around, and you can't stay on your feet for more than 30 minutes, you won't get the job. If the job requires working weekends, and you can't work on Saturdays, you won't get the job...and so on.

If you are lucky, you might find a position where the conditions can be changed to fit your circumstances. Yes, declare your circumstances, but also make positive statements about what you CAN do. I used to work with somebody who had trouble being on their feet for more than a couple of hours, so they had their break time broken up into more frequent, shorter ones.

I've worked with partially sighted and partially hearing colleagues, and colleagues with medical conditions that would impact their working time, and they got those positions by being positive and assertive about what they COULD do.

I'm in a small of pain due to having bad heartburn.

Post by **Ojisama** » 25 May 2023, 11:55

Sweaty! Shower soon.

nervous, medical appointment soon

I’m doing a lot better today. I would say my mood is at a 5/6 on a scale of 1 to 10.

Happier than I was yesterday.

And Dad's having surgery on his eyes tomorrow morning, so there's a possibility (not much of one) that we might get to Lincolnshire next month (unlikely, the entries close tomorrow)
