I just been to OH and for my voluntary role should be getting some reasonable adjustments but since that is volunteering, while I still be able to be a nurse? I only have 4 absent seizures a week with all bringing me a warning sign and I am fully conscious during them. If one happens I will only stare out for 5 secs and instantly come back to normal. Been seizure free for 3 days so far but hoping to be a nurse or HCA

I really do hope my voluntary work which involves getting info from patients, make them drinks, helping staff members. I got mixed messages from other nurses but honestly could I become a HCA from volunteering as a stepping stone gaining experience?

I hope you can understand what I have gone through? I am more worried than before. I can accept criticism to a point of limitation, would you rather be poked with a stick to be woken up or beaten by a bat? Honestly I had my work coach manager try in their own way to support me when all it was “tough love“ and criticising me with exaggerated examples. I suffer with anxiety and had moments of silence with my work coach, still responded but not as lively as she was. Because of this I was apparently destructing our coach sessions? After the manager was using harsh words like “destructing” it gives me the feeling of someone having tantrums or breakdowns but all I was doing is being more quiet and less active during my coach sessions. The manager also not one bit accepted my mental health “you can stop worrying! yes you can!” or “you can‘t come round if you feel down” those statements for “tough love” isn’t going to make me feel better (yes i am aware of my mental health) but it only makes me feel worse…. I really need this place to help me getting a job but if I am getting told off (what they said too) for not having a smile on my face, then it doesn’t make me feel safe….
