I think Anne's advice was spot on so I won't add to it. But please don't feel ashamed, you made a brave decision before, and it didn't work completely to plan but you showed a lot of strength in making the choices you made and things can get better again. You have nothing to be ashamed of. Please PM if you want to chat.<br /> Love Jo x </p> http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/topic/everything-has-gone-wrong#post-42866 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 10:50:41 +0000 Anonymous 42866@http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/ <p>Dear Amy,</p> <p>I am sorry that the job did not work out for you. Please do not feel ashamed about talking to people about it. Retail is not for everyone - that is a fact and not a sign of failure. I have done several jobs which were not right for me - in fact I spent my whole life doing just that! </p> <p>Why don't you go and see your doctor and get some help (or meds) so as to get your control back and stop yourself from having a relapse. Most of us leave it too long before we seek help. If we see the triggers and nip our OCD thoughts in the bud at an early stage we can get our control back a lot more quickly. </p> <p>In the meantime, please feel free to PM me if you would like a one to one. </p> <p>Love<br /> Anne </p> http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/topic/everything-has-gone-wrong#post-42864 Thu, 15 Jul 2010 00:33:01 +0000 amy88 42864@http://www.ocdaction.org.uk/forums/ <p>Hi everyone. In my last post i said that i got a new job. I was on probation which was supposed to last 3 months but 1 month in and they told me i wasn't right for the job and that retail isn't for me. It's really getting me down and i'm worried that my ocd and depression are coming back but worse. I really don't know what to do and i feel ashamed telling people about whats happened. </p>
