Hi and thank you for allowing me to join your forum.
I would like some advice if possible and I apologise for my lengthy post.
so I have worked for a police service for approximately 15 years. They accepted me knowing I had depression and that I was on anti depressants ( life long depression since a teenager). Jump to 10 years and due to funding cuts I was told I’d be redeployed into another job role. Around a year into this my old role became available and so I applied but was told I was not suitable due to my depression and medication. After a 2 year battle I was offered the role ( which was in my old location)however on accepting I was told I’d now been moved a good 2 hour drive from my original base, so , I had to decline. They have no reason for this move other than, in my eyes, knowing I could not accept it. I continued in my current role however I found it to be very clicky. Repeatedly over the years I’ve been ignored by work colleagues and shunned if I try to join in conversations or help with a task. Simple things like offering everyone a drink every time I was out of the room so I’d be left out, people turning there backs on me if I tried to join in a group chat, the list went on. This was only done when supervisors were not there, or sometimes it also involved some of them. Im a very hard worker yet if was trying to do a job, they would suddenly do it, then complain I wasn’t doing anything.
I have attempted to speak to my supervisor but he just laughs it off, I then attempted to speak to my manager who then just passed it back to my supervisor. This has started to severely affect my mental health and so I asked to be referred to occupational health. This took almost 2 months to do, and was only done after I constantly asked both my supervisor and manager. The reply was a copy and paste email with links to counselling. I feel totally trapped. These people are turning even my friends against me and work now is unbearable. I have asked for help yet have gotten now where. Im on the verge of going sick but I know they’ll put me on a stage 1 if I do.
please, im really sorry for the long post.
desperate for some advice
best wishes
