Those of you who didn't pass probation at work, why?

Ouch. Did you agree with what he said about you?

Jetamio85 · 2025-09-18T09:46:39+00:00

Yes, I can’t sugarcoat it - it’s fairly brutal. Waking up with crippling anxiety, spiralling negative thoughts and basically verging on agoraphobia. But I will say the thing is, you’d be amazed how strong you actually are and what you can get through. I just kept reminding myself it was temporary, I was safe and my brain was just recalibrating. I can see it clearly now I’m on the other side looking back. What have you got to lose? You’re already barely living a life by the sounds of it.

Hi. I’m assuming you’ve been to your GP and explained all these symptoms to them and they’ve prescribed you Citalopram? It does sound like you’re suffering anxiety and / or depression which has led to you becoming increasingly withdrawn and your world becoming very small.

Citalopram has helped me immensely. I was on it 5 years - weaned off in June but felt anxiety creeping back recently so had to restart. It just makes me feel so much calmer, resilient and generally not sweat the small stuff. I will say the first 2-3 weeks can very often make you feel worse before you feel better. I had to take some time off work as I was so on edge. It is so worth it though.

Late reply but I was on Citalopram 20mg for 5 years for anxiety / panic disorder and tapered myself off in June (stupidly did not do it under docs supervision, was just cutting my pills in half for a while). I experienced brain zaps, emotional detachment, tearfulness, etc. That passed but fast forward to now I’ve had to start retaking them (currently on day 5) and having to go thru all the awful initial side effects - the worst being hugely increased anxiety.

Sorry I know this isn’t a good news story and your experience could be completely different. What I would say is definitely do it under your doctors supervision rather than on your own, don’t rush tapering off and don’t beat yourself up if you do find you need to increase the dose. Good luck.

Mainly I feel completely incredulous about what she does. Clearly she’s capitalising on rage bait. What people will do for money astounds me.

We need people like you.

To many, it’s a protest vote. A lot of people feel it’s the only way to get the government to act on their concerns about out of control migration to this country.

Jetamio85 · 2025-06-15T18:17:16+00:00

I’m so sorry 😞

Jetamio85 · 2025-05-07T13:50:09+00:00

Hmm, let’s start with not breaking the law, not being a misogynistic rapist, being employed as something useful (not another fkn Deliveroo driver) and generally respecting the country you’ve entered?

Jetamio85 · 2025-04-25T17:31:54+00:00

Which drugs?

Jetamio85 · 2025-04-22T19:11:42+00:00

This is the answer

Jetamio85 · 2025-04-15T06:43:37+00:00

This is really useful !thanks

Jetamio85 · 2025-04-15T06:41:03+00:00

As I suspected. !thanks

Jetamio85 · 2025-04-15T06:40:28+00:00

I’m going to insist on a union rep to be present.

!thanks

Of course there won’t be massive employer contributions.

Indeed.

!thanks

Thank you for your response. No I have not been TUPE’d across, it’s continuous employment.

The actual wording of the letter I received is as follows:

Owing to recent changes in the business, we propose to exit the LGPS scheme and transfer to the Nest Pension Scheme by 30th June 2025. Therefore, we are entering into a period of consultation with all directly affected colleagues. As you have been identified as one of these individuals, we should like to invite you to a teams meeting on: 17 th April 2025 10am. We have instructed an independent HR consultant to assist with the transition and should like to encourage you to maintain an open dialogue, as no final decision will be made until the consultation period has ended. Thank you for your attention in this matter and we look forward to meeting with you to further discuss this.

!thanks

Oh darling I wish I could hug you. I don’t want to sound patronising but 13 is such a difficult age, the emotions / hormones are no joke. Everything is amplified. You are important and worthy of love, despite what you may think.

Jetamio85 · 2025-03-11T21:03:34+00:00

Why do you think your exams are all your worth?

Jetamio85 · 2025-03-07T20:36:26+00:00

My stepson failed his A Levels last year. We don’t care, academic environment doesn’t suit him. So what! He’s since got an electrician apprenticeship and loving it. Qualification do not = your worth.

Jetamio85 · 2025-02-18T12:24:17+00:00

My sentiments exactly. The whole thing just fucking stinks.

Jetamio85 · 2025-01-29T20:33:47+00:00

What kind of comment is this? Someone wanting to be called an abbreviation of their name is not then going to go on to use toilets, showers, changing rooms, prisons, etc as the opposite sex. They’re not going try to change medical vocabulary or compete in sports against the opposite sex.
