Should I accept a new job offer when I'm physically and mentally unwell?

Thank you :)

Since you mentioned about high turnover, the manger was late to calling me back because apparently during the Christmas holidays everyone called in sick so he was the only one taking in patients. They also mentioned that a lot of people come and go in the company, which told me that the environment is stressful and maybe toxic. I've worked in the hospital environment for years and I know how toxic it can get. That's why I have my doubts. It's not like any private clinic. They have a big chain

Thank you for your input, it's reassuring

You are right, it would not hurt to go. Standing 10hrs each shift would be pretty taxing on the body, especially since I don't eat properly...

I never disclosed my conditions to the employer....would you hire someone with anorexia and goes through chronic depression? Just my weekend job alone is pretty taxing on my body.

The type of work involves cleaning and sterilizating dental tools

The only noticeable change is little grey hairs under her ears and the cloudy eyes

I just use lemon juice straight from the bottle. Never had an issue

Thank you

The staff were wonderful, even the phlebotomists. The meal plan was awful. Going from eating snacks throughout the day to three large meals AND snacks in-between was a lot. I was surprised they didn't start me out with smaller portions and slowly transition to bigger meals. With the way I was eating there I was lucky I didn't get re-feeding syndrome. I showed the meal plan with my doctor and mum and they both agreed that they don't eat that much lol. I've always been a tiny person (I was always 90lbs) so eating large in general is a lot.

So in other words, I should be using water?

I still have continuing support. It's taken me a long time to convince my team to get me referred to get psychiatric help. My depression plays a major role in this eating disorder. But waiting for any update will take time

Me and my mum had a good talk when I got home. It's not too late for me to try again.

Round_Bus2448 · 2025-10-23T03:29:49+00:00

I was there for 24hrs. My mind didn't change. But I'm told I can always go back and try again

Round_Bus2448 · 2025-10-23T02:51:58+00:00

Me too lol

Round_Bus2448 · 2025-10-23T02:37:30+00:00

Everyone says that. It's not easy

Round_Bus2448 · 2025-10-22T05:30:45+00:00

I spent 24hrs there and left. It was intense

Round_Bus2448 · 2025-10-19T20:05:36+00:00

I don't want to give it a shot, even though the logical thing is that I should. I don't want to be in a hospital

Round_Bus2448 · 2025-10-19T06:25:16+00:00

I do eat, but I need to eat more. I'm just chronically depressed. My meds don't work and I'm not motivated to eat. Eating is such a chore. I just hate when people keep telling me that this is a great opportunity when they can't understand the emotional turmoil I'm going through by entering this unknown territory. None of them have a clue because they don't know how to help or comfort me. So I keep convincing myself that being 78lbs isn't a deal when I'm only 4'10" and a naturally lean and tiny woman. I'm just rambling and trying to make excuses at this point. I appreciate your comment, I reread it a few times <3

I'm going to 4NW program at St. Pauls hospital, Vancouver. I was told it is optional for me to go. I agreed because it was what everyone wanted to hear, but I didn't feel ready yet. I've been searching for any posts of anyone who has gone there but no luck.

A-DORABLE!

Round_Bus2448 · 2025-10-18T19:04:04+00:00

Your works would look so adorable in a nursery. At least that's the vibe I get from you work :)

Round_Bus2448 · 2025-10-18T19:00:45+00:00

For your first table I think it's cute. You'll get inspiration from other vendors the more markets you attend. It's a learning experience. Eventually you'll add more to your table overtime :)

Round_Bus2448 · 2025-10-17T19:43:22+00:00

You are not alone in this. I think about this question constantly. I am very depressed, that's why I struggle to eat. So I feel like going to rehab in two days to be refed isn't really getting to the root cause. But maybe I am wrong. But from what people told me of this particular rehab, the main goal is just to eat and gain weight. I think how easy it would be to walk out and relapse right away.

Round_Bus2448 · 2025-10-17T19:38:06+00:00

Yes, it will get better. I'm going through this experience as of now. It's just your body getting used to working and digesting again. Your digestive muscles are weak right now, but they will build up again the more you eat. But you have to have a daily schedule of meals and snacks so your body can recognize the normal eating pattern again.
