So 12 months ago I had issues with isolation ; mental health decline due to flood and not getting medication to treat my condition the work place I am in would often involve into my home life and say if he loved you he would buy you this and do your hair if he loved you he would work well all year of that little bits here and there I started to believe that.   I was withdrawing from meds due to floods the isolation and heat from rain I had a brake down went to boss said I can’t do this anymore and he called police thinking I was being abused 

police put charges took 8 months for court to drop them. I went to work everyday I was bullied by wrong information given or none. Micro managed left to do all on my own act manager and no thanks at all. I looked after their child (mother say at home needs a brake ) it’s a busy workplace to have babysit. I was always yes this due to the house is part of work agreement -

when I started standing up for myself it has come to a point where I am not listen to and storm off or not talked to so I can’t help customers. I have a new town to go to but the rivers are over for next weeks and I have to go back to work I have no medication for anxiety and pain as mail late by week

Hi RedDragon,

Thank you for opening up and sharing what’s been happening. You’ve been through an incredibly stressful time, both at work and personally. Managing isolation, health issues, and a challenging work environment all at once would be really hard for anyone, and it’s understandable you’re feeling worn down.

It’s positive that you’re planning to move to a new town soon, and hopefully that brings you a bit of relief and a fresh start. In the meantime, it could really help to talk things through with someone who understands what you’re going through. You can reach the Beyond Blue Support Service (1300 22 4636 or via webchat at beyondblue.org.au) for free, confidential support 24/7. You might also consider checking in with your GP or pharmacist about your delayed medication to see if there are any interim options while you wait for the mail.

You deserve to feel supported and safe, both at work and in your personal life. You’ve done a really brave thing by speaking up here.

Take care,
Sophie M
