Hello I hope you are all good!!
Unfortunately I’m not so well, since the last seizure that was on Sunday the 16th, I’m having small fits, loss of awareness, my hands start shaking more than usual, some spontaneous movements, insomnia things like that. I din’t work on the weekend on Friday I had to leave sooner, Yesterday I talk with the manger once again, she says that next week I’m going to do less night shifts, but I have to do one or two days at night.
Last night I went to the worst section pontwach I really need to work and I don’t want to live on benefits, but the ambient in the kitchen it’s unbelievable, too much pressure sometimes I get bullied, I really think that my colleagues are trying that I’ve a seizure at work, maybe they want to have a laugh with it, they know that a lot of noise can lead to a seizure so they bang with things, yesterday was the plates they even get little smashes.
I really need to work but I think I have to consider in finding another job. The kitchen manager even said, that I prefer to work on pontwach because In there I don’t need to think a lot, he didn’t say directly to me of course. So this is want happens wen you aren’t “normal” I don’t belong anywhere now, I know it’s not true but it’s what I feel. And that’s it I can do much only go to work everyday, today I’m on the night shift again God help me, I hope today I go to the salad section it’s the easiest one. I really don’t understand because we are very, very busy we have do to a lot of prep, why they don’t but me working on mornings, and doing lunch time, It’s unwillingness
kisses and hugs ❤️

Or have you spoke to your HR department about your concerns especially if you feel you are being bullied

@Tori_Scope
thank you for your care,
everything that we need we talk to the managers at the restaurant, general manager and kitchen manager, the bullying it’s slowing down, and I talk to general manager again saying that I really can’t work at night, it ins’t easy this week is being terrible for me, I even felt last Wednesday! I’m completely drained. I talk to my GP she advise me to talk to the specialist the neurologist and the neurosurgeon, I already send a letter to both, talking about my symptoms I even ask the neurologist to write a letter saying that I can’t work at night.
You really should go to OH it shouldn't cause any trouble they are the best to advise on how your condition should be taken into account in a work environment
I'm sorry to hear that you fell last Wednesday, are you okay?
It doesn't seem as though things have been improving at work, and it can't go on as it is, so I really would urge you to take the next step in getting an assessment from Occupational Health.

I hope you get through this and try to remember that it doesn't matter what other people think, you know what your problems are.

stay safe 😘😘
I really don’t want a lose my job, but I think things are going to be better, they know about my condition. I can send a email to OH maybe they can help the company too
Thank you for help I will keep you updated
stay safe 😘😘
Even though you haven't been having seizures, it still doesn't sounds as though you've been very well. I'm with Jane on this one, send an email to OH and see how it goes from there

My neurologist send me a letter, I already give them. They are giving me day shifts, 9/5 and 12/5
But I don’t think that they are very happy with that, let’s see!
Definitely keep us updated! Don't hesitate to reach out on here, or to the other Scope services any time you need to.
It's our pleasure, I'm glad we could be of help.

I saw on the government page that they help as well to find a job, people who have health problems.
@janer1967 it’s the least I can do, I’m really grateful. You could just say comfort words or put a sad emoji face! 🙂
It’s good to know that I have support, it’s very important that I keep working, not just because I needed and I do need, but also because it make me feel better
I’m going to keep you updated!!
The government scheme sounds good. Was it the Access to Work one you were looking at?
I can't remember if we've signposted you to this before, but we also run a Support to Work service here at Scope
I hope everything's going well!

it was on Access to Work yes, I was exciting because I really don’t know if it’s safe to change work, but I think it’s going to be ok at least I hope so.
I agree that having some security at work will really improve both your physical and mental health.
That sounds great! I hope the appointment goes well.
I'm good thanks!
