I.m having really bad time since Christmas partly because as Ive already said Im waiting to see if I will be given funding for the Maudsley and if I get funding will I pass assessmnet. the pct meets next week but it will be another few weeks before I hear and I have begun to feel really anxious about it since Christmas I havn't seen my socila worker since 13th January and I'm not due to see her until 10th, I feel sometimes thta she thinks Im a waste of space.

Hi Swan
You're not a waste of space, none of us are - and waiting for news about the assessment must be really stressful because OCD wants to be in control and hates uncertainties. All you can do is hang on in there because there is hope of a brighter future and each day is one step nearer.

Hi swan,

I agree with Tess, you're definitely not a waste of space. If your social worker can't understand the stress that you're under that's her problem and not your problem.
Just hang on in there, though easier said than done when you're anxious

Hi Swan,

I'm sorry you are still struggling with everything. I definately agree with Tess and Trudy, you are not a waste of space and I really hope they sort out your funding issue out soon as once you start your treatment you will start to feel better.

Good luck and hang on in there and I hope you have a Happy New Year and things start to improve for you.

Take Care
Bridget

If I get funding I will then be worrying about telling my bosses that i will be having long term sick. Have decided to sleep into new year.

Hi swan,

Sorry to hear that you're continuing to feel so bad

You're under a considerable amount of stress at the moment, it all seems to have come at once doesn't it? And it's certainly not helped with it being the most stressful time of year.

It's not easy but try just crossing each bridge as you come to it, so first let them confirm that you have the funding, then go from there.
Remember we're all here to help support you through this difficult time.

PM me if you need to talk.

You have to take 1 thing at a time.

Although I have been told when people have been forced out of work - security work is always an option.
