Pardon

Hi Nikki. I understand what you mean, it's always difficult knowing whether to disclose OCD when being interviewed for jobs for fear that they may not employ you. If you feel you are able to then being open with your employer could be a good thing as they may be able to help you through it when you're struggling and need that little bit of extra support. Of course only you know whether you feel comfortable telling them though. I hope you're doing well still with therapy and that you'll be able to return to the job you love. ? I'm glad I decided not to give up my business now, I just have to keep pushing myself when my OCD is at its worst. Hopefully now I'm back on medication that will help lift my depression at least. Take care. X

Hi Nikki. It's good that you are having some treatment, I really hope it helps you. Does your employer know you have OCD? I remember when I had to have some time off in a previous job, I was off for a good 6 months or so and my sick note from the doctor did say OCD and depression as the reason. I don't really like many people to know about it but on this occasion I didn't really have much choice. Take care.

Thank you Nikki, I'm going to push through and try not to give up. I'm sorry to hear you're out of work right now, have you just taken a bit of time off? Xx

Just a little update. I'm now on Fluoxetine and diazapam as and when needed. I've also decided to try and push myself through this tough time and not be so hasty about closing my business. Thanks again Gemma and Scott for listening and being supportive.
