Not ticking disability box re: New Job is very stressful

Aarajake1

I am 5 weeks into a new job for a company that I have wanted to work for for a while. The money is fantastic and I have just come off LCFWRA and ESA. I had previously resigned from 2 roles one in 2020 and the other in 2022 to focus on my recovery. I have had a good career with periods of sick leave for depression. I am now 59 so do not have that long to earn and save some money. When asked where I preferred to work after interview. I said a location that was only about one hour away from home. I did not get what I wanted. I have been in recovery since May 2022 and my symptoms of depression were managed with gym, meds and a healthy diet as well as seeing family. I was diagnosed with clinical depression in 2004 but I have had depression since the age of 19 which manifested itself in bulimia and feelings of depression and suicidal ideations and two overdoses in my 20's. Now manager has noticed that I am in tears when I am told I have made a mistake which there have been a few. I had to tell her that I have suspected bipolar which seems to have been made worse by the stress of the job which is in the care/housing sector. I said that I did not tick the disability box as I do not see myself as having a disability as I have been well for over a year. Plus I do not want to be seen as disabled. I thought I was better. The stress of the job and the shift work is difficult too but manageable. She has now made an OH referral. Could a reasonable adjust be for me to ask to move to one of their services in the area that I wanted or one closer to home. Will me being in probation affect their decision and will the fact that I did not say I was disabled in the application form affect this too. I really need this job for financial reasons as my new council house property is expensive rent wise and I like to work. I was out of work for 18 mths to focus on my recovery. My son who has seen me nearly admitted to psychiatric care when my father and his father died in the same year (that tipped me over the edge said why don't I do part time but I was worried about not being able to pay the rent and loosing my home. I have self medicated with alcohol in the past but not since May 2022. Local mental health service took me off their books at my request last year October 2024. I have also made an appointment with GP to be re-instated back to mental health services.
