I have a 2018 reg vauxhall Corsa 62,000 miles and recently the traction control light will come on along with "service ESC" after I've driven on the motorway for about 20-30 mins. Sometimes accompanied by flashing engine light which will flash for a few seconds and then go away. When I turn the engine off and back on all warnings have gone away.

Took it to two garages and they can't find any error codes.

They've told me to come back when the warnings are on permanent so they can test but this doesn't feel like a safe or sustainable solution to me!

It was serviced a couple months ago and only thing they found was the rear suspension slight leak which they advised to repair in next few months - any idea with this might be related to the warnings? Or what these could be - I asked them about spark plugs etc and they said unlikely but these have never been replaced so I kind of disagree...?

I'm reluctant to spend money replacing random things without a clear diagnostic as I might just get rid of the car and replace as has brought me nothing but anxiety ever since I bought it.

Looking for advice - I am fully in remission of PTSD symptoms after finishing EMDR last month. But recently have just been feeling super irritable and like I want everyone to back off and get in the bin seemingly without trigger. Mostly deal with this by just choosing when to speak to people (live alone so this kinda works) but then when I'm in work it's harder. Work itself is in mental healthcare and it's not interacting with patients that causes this feeling but other staff and feeling very overstimulated in our hot and unpleasant noisy office.

The feeling will usually start early morning and get progressively worse throughout the day but then when I come home and can finally try to relax it's like I'm too wired and restless to unwind or focus on hobbies/special interests (also autistic so who knows what is from that, what is PTSD and what is just environmental?)

Im also AFAB so have tried tracking menstrual cycle and doesn't seem to be linked clearly. I'm in my notice period at work moving to a new job which sort of is related to my PTSD diagnosis so I just CBA at work in a role I'm normally super passionate about and I don't feel very hopeful about the new job being better. I very much feel I'm "going through the motions" and hoping things will just resolve from this little blip. It's weird because I don't feel depressed or anxious just really irritated by other people!

Any ideas or suggestions for self care etc appreciated!

Anyone able to help - playing in a social league and got called for held ball because I picked up the ball from way down out of the court and ran over to the line, positioned my feet and then took the throw in which was 3 seconds since I picked up the ball. Call me pedantic but if a ball is way down court, I'm not going to roll it all the way up to the sidelines to take the shot - any thoughts?

I work in the UK with a primary specialism in psychosis. During clinical practice with a client, they developed harmful beliefs about me which involved expressions of direct threat to me. I didn't have access to supervision or support at the time and did my best to safely manage the case for about 3 months.

After multiple threats were made, I started to develop trauma symptoms and went off sick, later being diagnosed with PTSD.

Fast forward a year, and I've brought the case to the attention of my employer because I don't feel I was adequately supported despite repeatedly trying to raise my concerns about safety (both the clients and mine) to my manager. Manager denies all knowledge and a supposedly independent review (completed by the next layer of management) has found "no evidence" that anything traumatic or out of the usual with this client group happened - I've been doing this work for approx 2 years now and had other primary specialisms before that and have never experienced this level of physical threat at work.

In the meeting, manager has basically recommended I consider a different section of the field (which makes me really sad because I worked hard for my psychosis specialism and enjoy working with this client group). I feel really really let down and effectively blamed for my own trauma. I did everything I could to support my client in an incredibly under resourced team (we literally had 40% under-staffing when the incidents happened) and ultimately the client did recover and is doing better now.

I feel really stuck with this sense that the NHS is weaponising "personal resilience" to avoid any kind of responsibility or accountability to ensure the safety of therapists working within. And somehow I continue to feel maybe I am in some way to blame or "not strong enough" even though I have significant tenure and experience in the field. Can anyone relate to this and have any recommendations on how to stop gaslighting yourself? Or how to call out management for this individualisation?

Unfortunately I can't afford to quit but I am actively looking at other options. Ty.

I decided to raise a formal grievance about my workplace after developing PTSD (formally diagnosed) after being involved in multiple trauma incidents with patients last year (work in NHS mental health). Part of the grievance relates to how my manager conducted herself after I raised concerns about my safety in the team following my PTSD diagnosis.

I got the investigation report back last week and the manager has denied all knowledge of the traumatic incidents and has accused me of essentially making it up. The wider HR team have recommended that I "move to work with a less demanding and risky client group" because of my reports of the PTSD. I find this so invalidating and triggering as I initially spent months trying to tell myself the trauma itself "wasn't that bad" and that I "should be able to cope" to the point where it's all I can think about and the rumination is killing me.

I have the official hearing where I can make my response and ask questions etc in 2 weeks but I don't know how to get myself through this. I have also been told I can't talk to any of my colleagues until after the grievance hearing and because of the specific traumas involved in our work, I'm struggling to find any solidarity or support.

If anyone here has been through something similar, how did you get through it? How did you get your mental health under control enough to go through the grievance process and what do you wish you'd done differently?

I have union support and am still in therapy for the original trauma but other than that I'm on my own and it sounds like HR/management are trying to question my fitness to continue in my job which is also stressing me out. Any help or tips appreciated thanks.

Work in the NHS, raised a complex grievance regarding management covering up staff mental health issues and bullying/harassment back in Jan 2025. Grievance hearing has now been delayed for the fourth time due to "staff availability". I've explained every time this happens, it's like I relive the trauma of what happened to me all over again (have PTSD diagnosis due to my managers actions and other incidents in the team).

I am getting to the point where I'm actually wondering if HR are deliberately delaying things in the hope I just drop the complaint.

Anyone know how long the delays can persist before I could bring a legal case against them for unreasonable delay? Tysm

Context: in social league netball when GK/GD are marking the ball during a shot, they have their distance but are being pushed forward by the GA leaning into them from behind - does this not come under interference as if done with enough force it pushes the defender into a foul for shortening distance?

I'm also consistently finding GS/GA will lean back into the GK/GD when tracking the rebound (with arms up) and not be called for contact yet if the situation was reversed 9/10 the defender would b called. Please explain?
