Thanks @Shaz51 For your thoughts.

Thanks for asking about me.

Well the hospital stint lead to me effectively losing my job.

I wasn't dismissed as such - As a Casual I was not offered anymore work (no hours), after that.

This was despite having a very good performance record, & positive feedback to management from my clients.

I did not disclose the reasons for my hospitalisation to my employer (not that I was on the Psych Ward) - Just that I was in hospital.

However, judgements were obviously made - because that's where my work with that employer abruptly ended.

I was expecting to, & relying on returning to work (early December last year), as soon as I came out of hospital.

Instead I've had to adjust emotionally (& financially) to being unemployed again, which was not expected.

I'm now undertaking a First Aid Course, then soon starting a new job position -

- Under enormous pressure from the Disability Employment Service Jobsearch Agency, who seem determined to place me in any Job position that comes up.

Regardless of the amount of driving between clients (for this job) being beyond my capabilities.

My physical & health limitations are not being considered (again), when the DES Job Agency is put me forward for this job position (& others).

In any case, I am trying to find something Positive & encouraging (or empowering) to draw on, amidst what appears to be pointless (I'm hoping it isn't).

My Birds are doing well, they brighten my life with colour & song.

I have a new cat, she is rather Timid & a bit skittish - I've only had her for 2 weeks.

Thanks.
