Disclosing mental health to employer

[Brenden_E]

You know, you say some dumb sh!_t on these forums, but this must be in the top 5

So you don't see it as a possible scenario that someone that already tried to commit suicide might kill themselves if a co-worker says their work sucks?

I must have a better imagination.

Dude. I can only take so much. Every fkn second thread regarding this topic brings out the cnts and their attitudes and hate.

I don't disagree dude, and I understand it.

But for some people who don't actually understand the topic or the complexities, getting triggered just plays into their misunderstandings of how it all works. This is not a negative on you though because you have been through things that many of us could never actually dream of going through.

Its actually high unlikely that a co-worker telling a suicidal person that their work is shyte, that the person will kill themselves over it. They have a myriad of other concerns that totally outweigh their work at that point actually.

Or you should take a break from the internet some times.

Just reactive depression. My last so-called episode was in 2015 when I had a slight breakdown due to a culmination of events including my divorce. Since then I've experienced what I would consider normal episodes of grief with the death of both my parents, retrenchment etc.

I've never been hospitalised or even bound to my bed because of this.

Treatment has evolved a lot in the last few years.

My approach has been the law allows 30 days sick leave in a three-year cycle and if you aren't going to need more than that, then how can an underlying health issue count against you. I once burnt 27 of those days in one year for acute pancreatitis.

I do find it's the woke companies with their caring culture that are the most toxic. Was hitting burnout at the one caring company and it triggered my underlying health issue (the week on medication in the hospital was much needed). Then my wife hit burnout last year and spent a couple of weeks in LifeCare along with months of treatment.

Mentioned my challenges to a prospective employer that went all silent even though caring and mental health as part of their company core values.

Mention my same challenges to companies that have a f*** woke culture and they are like we understand and if it won't impact your ability to do your job too much we are happy because you are such an adult for telling us this, that is why we want to hire you.

So find another job if the company is making your mental health stress worse.

You are triggered easily though.

Admittedly that is true, in this case he was justified in telling the oke to get bent though. Were I in his shoes I might've used some even stronger words.

You speak truth and that is enough.
I'll work on it, but it isn't easy. My ignore list is growing.

I take a break daily. I'm in the Tech industry, so I can't take breaks all the time.

The issue here is I gave simple advice with experiences I had and the conversation twisted onto me.

The provider of the scheme already has my condition listed

So what's the problem? They already know... If they were going to tell your employer they would have, I think this may privileged info however so they would not be able to.

It's going to jack your premiums sky high unfortunately.

Is it illegal to fire someone for this?
If not I would probably fire you to for the sake of the other employees. Someone that tried to kill themselves is capable of literally anything. Who knows what happens if another employee rubs that person the wrong way what might go down.

Wow you are ignorant.

And a bit of a dick...

Those unable to contain their emotions to the point of actually trying to commit suicide don't need much prodding to go over the edge. You'd have to cite some peer-reviewed research to refute such.

Brenden is lonely. I wouldn't take anything he says seriously.

This spiralled downwards quite fast. Or should I say standard MYBB protocol.

Thanks for the insights all. Please stop the pointless fighting. Everyone is fighting a battle that others don't know about.

I don't. Psychopaths have way bigger issues...

Some people thrive on the reaction they get from others. Ignore it and they eventually die in their loneliness.

This is also something to be hugely aware of actually...

Outward company culture is not necessarily the way the company culture really plays out. Many companies have this "caring/woke" culture on display but behind the scenes they're backwards AF when it comes to things like this.

If you take anything anyone says on the internet so seriously that you fly off the handle, I suspect you have some problems.

If you treat anyone else with such distain and disrespect due to their mental health, then I suspect you have some problems. Like being a psychopath.

Where's the disdain - care to point it out. I considered other people, who those who are suicidal may harm in a setting they cannot escape from.

If the company wants to keep you great, but if they don't I don't see a problem with it.
