I've filled the application in just now and we'll see what happens.

I've started taking 5HTP tablets again to see if they can help.

I still feel really low at the moment and I still feel unwell with the crohns flare and lingering cold symptoms.

Keep plugging away on the job front, something suitable will turn up, hopefully the tablets might also help & raise your spirits

Struggling with the character assassinations this morning. I think badly of myself and have many negative thoughts about myself. I struggle when I see other people writing negative things about me as it just intensifies the bad thoughts I already have in my head.

Ahhh mate that's awful and it's easy enough for someone to say "just ignore them" but me being me I couldn't settle unless I read them. What I can say people taking time out of their day to have a pop at someone must have a very boring life.

Easy for me to say but get out of that firing line. As you know, the keyboard warriors can post what they want so avoid such places.
Becs said:
No I've not looked at those, but I will do.

I used to work there so I knew how things transpired. Do you know anyone that works NHS?

My Mam used to but she retired some years ago now. I don't know anyone else who works for them.

Those scum have little else to do so fill their empty time by criticising.

Well if you make enquiries it's worth mentioning because the NHS seem to prefer those with a background.

That NHS shout thats a good one, the lad I went to the gym with worked for them and he used to say the Army , Police etc spent a fortune advertising for recruitment but NHS never did. He said was loads of jobs as well for NHS but he couldn't get his head round why they never advertised more.

It's largely because vacancies now have to go via a departmental budget with the board before an ad can come out for a new contract. Don't be put off by my comment because doors can be left ajar if the right person turns up

Also look at GP practise work, their vacancies don't need to go via such a strict process.

I don't know you but despite the difficulties you describe you are one of the kindest, most supportive people on this forum (and there are many, most on this thread 🙂). Try to focus on that, although I know easier said than done.
Job wise, the civil service are also a great employer. All jobs are advertised on civil service jobs.

Didn't think anyone would be but I made the post because NHS jobs are not as easy to get nowadays as they used to be in some trusts. But either way if a person fits the bill for a vacancy they have a decent shout.

Wrong thread for this but i've got my parents down for 5 days from Sunday, that's 5 days spent with two people that don't listen to you, father just doesn't listen, never has and plays the victim role when he imagines he's being ostracized.

Mam doesn't listen because she's too busy telling you what she thinks and any pointing out of this is met with " that's not what i heard" "didn't come across to me like that" etc,etc. never wrong.

Sure you'll all be familiar with the shite.

Horrible to dread a parental visit but the lazy bastards only had me so they've no where else to go.

See there is all this as described above then after 5hey have gone there is the guilt. I shouldn't have snapped here or there. I should have been nicer. I should try to stop feeling resentful.

Or is that just me.
Becs said:
Thank you. I've filled the application in just now and we'll see what happens.

I applied for two other customer service jobs for banks but didn't get either of those.

I've started taking 5HTP tablets again to see if they can help.

I still feel really low at the moment and I still feel unwell with the crohns flare and lingering cold symptoms.

Ach, sorry to hear, this bout of ill health is taking some getting over mind. Nothing I can do to help mind except to reiterate....take time for yourself. I know it is difficult with everything you've got on but even 15 mins on here, scolling through, having a laugh, or a sympathise, or a healthy discussion. Hang on in there. 🙃

These matters are very deep rooted & extremely personal so loose online comment shouldn't be made. If anyone has such resentment it's possibly worth raising it with a gp to see where it takes you.

The individual knows best if advice is needed. If anyone has concerns get that help.

WHAT!!!! who, what, where. Well they can just bugger off.

Let me tell you something. I am always a bit envious (in a nice way) of you. You come across as a smart, kind, thoughtfull, funny women with a great sense of humour who looks great in a trouser suit 😀

I suppose tho all the great things people say about you can sometimes pale beside the one or two negative comments some put out there. Try not to let that happen.

Try to stay as strong as we all know you are
