Hi,

I lost my job because I didn't know what was wrong with me and my boss was extremely abusive. I ended up losing it at work and it didn't end well for me.

Do you have a person that can go with you to these appointments and advocate on your behalf? I wish my hubby had of come to some of mine and told the Dr's what was happening.

My new psychologist is being a great advocate for me at the moment in terms of compensation but the damage has been done. She told me to take my hubby to any future appointments. The only problem is IME's won't allow it.

Anyway I digress, I'm only telling my story - not to scare but to hopefully get a better outcome for you. If I had my time again, I wouldn't stress so much about work and just go at my own pace. When you get the emails, find a way to work out what she wants and toss the rest. Perhaps print them and write a list for you to follow.

When your boss is being a pain, go to the toilet for time out. Anything to get you in a better space. Stressing makes you worse.

This is getting too big so I will finish.
