What is Occupational Health, and what are the functions of Occupational Health Services?

What´s the point with Occupational Health Service (Chemical Path. testing) for non-risk occupations? What´s the newest guidelines regarding Chemical pathology tests in Occupational Health Service-programmes? When companies subjects their employees with screening tests such as CRP, ALT, AST, Urate etc. and the workforce is closely matched with the general population and not in any riskgroup (in this case banking/finance), I find it questionable to carry out the tests. Of course there will be positive tests - but is it in the persons best interest to recieve a corporate sponsored, normaly distributed indication on an disease with no symptoms? Presuppose that the empoyees have the means to recieve adequate healthcare regardless of the employer (the set is Sweden with free public healthcare). What say you?

Occupational Health Questionnaire? I have been offered a job which requires me to complete an occupational health questionnaire to be returned to the occupational health service. I have had a history of depression where I was seen by psychologists and psychiatrists and treated with anti-depressants. This was years ago now, and I feel hesitant to indicate on this form that I have suffered depression in the past. I have lost out on job previously because of mentioning my history with depression, and I don't want to miss out on this job. I'm much in control of my depression now and believe it will not affect my ability to carry out my job. Can I lie and not mention my history of depression or will the occupational health service have access to all my medical records and thus find out my medical history anyway? P.S. The job is an administrative role for a well known medical professional body. Also, what I answer will not be seen by my prospective employer, I am told - only whether or not I am fit for the job.

What is occupational health and safety for computer hardware servicing?

Can a professional (SLP or OT) bill to Medicaid or health insurance for services made six months, a year ago? I know this seems pretty basic. But, I need clarity. I wanted to know if a medical professional (speech language pathologist, Occupational Therapist, Physical Therapist) can bill for services made six months or a year ago? Or is it too long of wait. I'm basically asking what is the allowable amount of time elaspe would be to make claims to Medicaid or any type of health insurance on services a medical professional provides.

How do I put together a Business Plan to set up as a freelance Occupational Health Nurse? After working for a number of years for a service provider, I have decided to go it alone. I will need a lease car and about £3000 pounds worth of equipment and training (updates) and would like to approach a Bank for funds. I have never had any experience of putting together a business plan and any help/advice would be appreciated, including useful web sites to visit. many thanks in advance of advice offered.

What area in working for the federal government can a major in Health Science/Public Health be? I am majoring in Health Science, concentration in Health Services Administration. I checked out the Occupational Outlook online and it states that medical and health services managers can work for the federal government for an earning of $87,200. What kind of job would this be? Would it be at best for me to get a masters in Public Health?

Ill Health Termination Procedure? If an employee has had employment Terminated due to being deemed Ill Health incapable by the employer but without the Occupational Health service / Medical Adviser to the Employer confirming any medical conditions or underlying medical causes (or even exploring all other options first such as redeployment) are there any potential breaches of procedure such as Employment Rights Act etc ?? The employers Attendance Policy requires a report from Occ Health confirming 'Underlying Medical Causes' before proceeding to a Termination. There is no such confirmation ! Help appreciated

has anyone had a similar experience with their health and mental health services? at my last gp practice that i was with a year ago, they were very aloof, dismissive, patronizing , argumentative with me when i would make appointments about things i was worried about, i got exasperated one day and had enough, i said sternly to the doctor , '' i dont come here to be spoken to this way by my doctor or health professionals, im going to make a complaint '' - i then walked out and i made a formal complaint with an external agency. they incorrectly logged i had an aggressive outburst and put it in my medical notes - i left there of my own accord , because their attitude was very hostile especially after id complained. the present GP practice im with, they seem to have a fairer attitude but still seem a bit alien and aloof , abrupt. plus you can't choose which doctor you want to see in the practice , you have to see the doctor you chose when you joined the surgery , the doctor allocated to you.. anyone else have the same experience at their surgery ? ive had psychological disorders most of my adult life due to an unbelievable sh!t unfortunate life, and my experience with the psychiatric services has been bitter and miserable - not always had consistent help of therapy or diagnoses , slipped through the net , struggled to get proper help. 2 years ago i was diagnosed with BPD personality disorder and my psychiatrist agreed i need intensive psychotherapy , psycho-dynamic therapy , but theres no resource for the therapy in my area, so im having to take what their offering which is occupational therapy to get me integrated back into society because ive been isolated and a recluse for so long. my psychiatrist has no power over what services are available or whats on offer he can just recommend - from my observation. ive suffered with these symptoms all my adult life : impulsive aggressive outburst, struggling to control rage and aggression, losing control of conduct , paranoia that people might be against me, panic and anxiety about being outside thats turned into agoraphobia - racing , scattered thoughts everyday , forgetting things, post traumatic stress symptoms , panicking perceiving threatening behavior from other males , reacting with intense severe aggression. fluctuating moods everyday , severe depressions one minute , feeling ok the next - nightmares , flashbacks. ive suffered alot of things in my life like bullying, attacks, being singled out , head injuries in a street attack because i lost control of rage - time in a mental hospital. had an unbelievable sh1t existence so far - im now 31 nearly. my psychiatrist said all the symptoms i have are basically as a result of my traumatic life experience and that i have no mental illness or psychosis . he said i have good intellect and great insight into my problems. he is adamant i dont have a mental illness like bi polar or another mental illness. he refuses to prescribe any medications because he said they dont work in the long term and can be incredibly addictive, and they wont work for me. even though i asked for some medication that is non addictive to help with my symptoms... like i said individual psychotherapy is not available in my area due to no resources and no funding - so im having to take what their offering which is the occupational therapy to help me ' practically ' to exposure therapy to my fears and anxieties - to get me integrated back into society to attend resource centres etc. im hoping the therapy i asked for will become available at some point, the 1 on 1 psychotherapy. although im a bit in bewilderment that they' re resolute about giving any medication. has anyone else had these type of problems or experiences with their services ? i worry im on my own with this treatment and sh1t service and everybody else is getting the right, ideal help and support except me from their health services.

Question RE UK Disability Discrimination Act? I suffer from a hereditary condition called Familiar Tremors which has worsened over recent years and will worsen throughout my life. I work for a County Council in the UK and the Occupational Health service that the authority use have placed me under the Disability Discrimination Act due to my tremors. What does this mean for my life outside the workplace? Am I technically disabled and therefore eligible to apply for other benefits? Or is this only for the workplace and has no impact upon my external life?

What is the best way to ask employer to include coverage for speech and occupational therapy in health plan? My wife works for large corporation with self-funded, nationwide health insurance policy. They do not include many benefits for our Autistic son, and she wants to approach upper management in hopes of changing this. Since our state and the state of the corporate office have legislation forcing insurance companies to cover these services, we think it is unfair they can slip through the cracks by by hiding behind their self-funded, nationwide plan. Our son's doctors prescribed him speech and occupational therapy, but we will be unable to afford it until our insurance will cover it. Any ideas about how to make this happen? As far as the state legislation goes, it does not apply to self-insured companies, so they are bound by it. As far as the state insurance program goes, my son must be without insurance for 12 months to qualify. I have already started lobbying for an exception, but don't see it happened. I think you guys are missing the point of my question. This is much bigger than my son. We want to put this dilemma on the managers' table and make them seriously consider changing their policy. 1 in 150 kids have Autism. 1 in 98 boys. That means in 20 years over 1% of young men will have this affliction, not small potatoes. Please only provide suggestions about approaching upper-management. Corrections: Sorry, I meant to say "they are NOT bound by it" Current estimates are that in the United States alone, one out of 94 boys is diagnosed with autism. That is about 10,638 per 1 million boys. Thank you for answering my actual question sarah314. We already talked to HR and are currently inquiring with benefits. Now, if this fails what is a good next step? Come on people, think outside the box here. This is typically a progressive organization. We want to make sure we stage our request properly and tactfully, giving ourselves the best chance for a successful outcome.

UK job absentee-ism remains stubbornly high, so, "Govt calls for more job rehab & firms say no, no, no!!???" Attempts by the Government to move the long-term sick off benefits and back to work risk being undermined by poor levels of rehabilitation in the workplace, according to a new report. A survey of over 800 employers found more than a third offered no rehabilitation support to help staff return from a period of sick leave. The study, by the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD), discovered that public sector employers were more likely to offer support than private firms. Ben Willmott of the CIPD said more needed to be done to stem the "steady stream" of workers going on long-term sick leave. "Increased use of workplace rehabilitation support and services has a key part to play in achieving this and in particular the provision of access to occupational health services, the use of flexible working to aid phased returns to work and the provision of access to counselling services.

She's had no induction and no-one she works with seems to know what the company procedure is so she went to her GP who has told her she needs to go through the occupational health service. How do you get in contact with them? Have her employers broken any laws or rules by not having a procedure or at least not telling the staff what to do if they get bitten?

Occupational Therapy, Speech Language Pathology, Diagnostic Medical Sonography? What is the best professional field to get into with today's economic times? I would assume it is medical. I think I want to do something medical but I don't want to do nursing or be a specialist doctor (heart surgeon, obgyn, anesthesiologist etc). I know that is where the real money is but I don't want to do any of that. 3 things that interest me in the medical/health services field are Diagnostic Medical Sonography, Occupational Therapy, and Speech Language Pathology/Audiology. Any information on if these are good fields to get into? I know that they won't pay as much as doctors with a big title get paid but what I have heard they have the potential for a decent salary. Any information on these fields (especially if you happen to be in one of them) and recommendations for majors for Undergraduate school. Thanks :) I would work with kids for Occupational Therapy and Speech Pathology. Maybe even learn Spanish to get the bilingual certification

Doctor wont diagnose me with adult ADHD ? Even though he sent me to mental health services a occupational therapist talked to me and i told her my problems about ADHD and i was told that there is no one here that knows enough about ADHD. and was told to keep taking this antidepressant fluoxetine 20mg that i have taken for two months and it does nothing to help. Should i go to another doctor. Any one help out with there story of adult ADHD?

Went to see a psychiatrist (bad experience)? I went to see a psychiatrist. Well he said he can't give me drugs because it might make things worse. Thats fine. But he will give me CBT. He insists it will help me. He wants to talk to the Occupational Health service at the hospital where I work so I might be able to get the councelling there. But here is the thing, I keep having urges to quit this job and I've only been here three weeks. He knows this. My last job lasted 6 weeks. I have no idea what to do. He said that CBT worked for me last time so it must work for me this time. well of course it worked because I wasn't living in so much stress and anxiety and was out of work at the time). I never asked for the drugs. He just assumed I wanted them. But there is no point because he says its a psychological issue and no drugs will fix it. I used to take Paxil and decided to come off of them on my own. My problem is, he wants me to see a therapist at my workplace but I might quit so I won't be able to use that service anymore as its intended for staff alone.

Can IEP services be denied because a child has outside medical care? My 6 year old daughter with cerebral palsy, optic nerve hypoplasia, hypotonia, ect. She has physical and occupational therapy one time a week and doesn't arrive at school that day until noon. (Doctor has ordered "early in the day, early in the week" because of hypotonia and fatigue) We are going as early in the day as we can (8:00am) and have failed to find a rehab center open on Saturday or Sunday. So school hours have become our only option. This is doctor ordered and is imperative for her health. Today, at our IEP meeting we were told that she would not receive special education services for that day and all missed work would be sent home. They said this is because her physical and occupational therapies are not educationally related. This is what happened last year in Kindergarten and it took my daughter 2 hours each night to finish her homework to make up the missed work. She became so stressed about school that she sees a psychologist for school related anxiety. She fatigues very easily and does not have much energy left after a full school day. The director of the county special education department told us that the law stated that they are not required to serve her on that day, nor are they required to have a teacher help her make up the work. Can anyone cite this law for me?

Do you think my personal statement is adequate for apply for a nursing diploma? I found it quite hard on where to start and wanted to keep it to the point what do you think? I understand working as a Nurse will be very challenging and stressful at times. The skills I have acquired so far in my current role as Cabin Crew will assist me in becoming a nurse. I am a disciplined person who has encountered many difficult situations whilst working with customers and has always maintained a cool disposition focusing on my role and the level of service we provide. On many occasions I have had to deal with people with tact, diplomacy and assertiveness and I believe my maturity and experience would be of great benefit to the nursing staff I will be working with. Over the past 8 years since leaving school I have been working in a customer service capacity with the travel industry in varying roles. I have gained many skills and qualities especially from my current role as cabin crew. A lot of the skills are transferable to caring as a big part of my job is looking after people. I regularly have to deal with ill passengers and always wonder what the after service is when the ill passenger leaves the aircraft. I enquired to our health services department if I could have a shadow day to see what nurses and dentists get up to behind the scenes. I was very impressed with the professionalism of the staff and genuine care the patients received in the heath centre. The heath centre genuinely deals with occupational health, inoculations and any health quires including clearance to fly for passengers. With the passenger screening unit there was a lot of problem solving going on and this is really where my interest in nursing is. I am also very interested in accident and emergency care as I work well under pressure and am very interested in emergency care medicine. I am now ready to pursue a career and am very excited to return to studying. I feel my maturity and interest in the subject will help me to excel in this field. I understand that if I achieve over 60% in my exam results within the first 2 years then there is a possibility to change to the degree course and this is my plan of action.

Depression and suicidal ideation? I have just had to go to my GP for an emergency appointment due to a relapse in my mental health. I also have just rang the Samaritans, who for once, werent best helpful. When coming back from the surgery, I saw this car coming out of a garage, and walked out in front of it. The guy wasnt really looking but then he saw me, and looked embarressed he hadnt been paying attention. His female passenger though looked at me in shock. I know I was bad to do that, but I kept thinking, I'd be better off dead. I didnt go into my uni placement today as I couldnt face it. I couldnt manage to get out of bed and havent stopped crying. I dont want to inform my tutor as they took me off placement a few years ago due to mental health and I had to see a very rude and bigoted Occupational Health doctor. My partner is trying to support me, as is my Mum, but I am finding it hard to talk to them. All I am thinking about is throwing myself over my balcony. I am seeking help alone to try and help myself, and have been chasing up psychology for an appointment, which I was promised over a month ago. I have also signed up to a DBT group on Yahoo, plus looking for an actual real life group, as I really am not coping. I am on 20mg of Fluoxitine a day, and I saw the GP today and she said she wont change me to anything else yet as I have been on it for so long. Can anyone help at all? How can I keep myself safe from now until I do see mental health services?

how should you act , what should you do in this instance ? im nearly 31 , have a personality disorder and ptsd due to a hard traumatic adult life, i used to have aggressive outbursts in public due to a lot of stored anger from continuous taunts and victimisation throughout my life, rage outbursts where id lose it in public , become paranoid, lash out at people, get attacked by strangers and publically embarressed and humiliated.. cautioned by the police, ive been very lucky, and struggled with rage since 17. this was many years ago and ive managed well for years. sadly years ago i have a jail and criminal record been in a mental hospital, been homeless , i became dishonourable, and dishonoured .. i deeply regret this and have missed out on many things in life including build friendships and relationships, being employed , getting qualifications or an education.. im starting from a blank slate at 30. rage, aggression , paranoia, very low esteem, high anxiety, aggraphobia are all still hard relevant problems in the present , but ive managed well for years.. i live in a one bedroom apartment owning very few material possessions living on disability, ;- im going along with the treatment plan by the mental health services of occupational therapy to help get me to face my aggraphobia, anxiety etc. for a long time ive done well, managed my conduct, managed my aggression been more recptive , friendly to people, but im finding people are still very ' aloof ' towards me and standoffish - dont reciprocate my efforts to be friendly or be friends, act unnaccepting of me, abrupt and patronising.. i know im changing for the better and are cooperating with help given.. however im angry, frustrated by the way people still behave towards me, and ; '' confused about how i should react '' im not going to bow down or act out of character to be accepted. even though im making progress, im still isolated , living alone , feeling on the edges of society.. so tell me ; - how do i respond to the way some people are acting towards me ? its almost like people know ' i need them to help me ' or i have nowhere else to go.. so like this gives them the upper hand because they are my ticket out ? or else ill be a social recluse for the rest of my life.

Why do "socialist" countries always rank as the happiest countries in the world? The happiest taxes on earth SANTA MONICA, Calif. (MarketWatch) -- Northern Europeans are the happiest people on the planet, according to a new survey. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development says people in Denmark, Finland and the Netherlands are the most content with their lives. The three ranked first, second and third, respectively, in the OECD's rankings of "life satisfaction," or happiness. There are myriad reasons, of course, for happiness: health, welfare, prosperity, leisure time, strong family, social connections and so on. But there is another common denominator among this group of happy people: taxes. Northern Europeans pay some of the highest taxes in the world. Danes pay about two-thirds of their income in taxes. Why be so happy about that? It all comes down to what you get in return. .................... It says social welfare programs include health insurance, health and hospital services, insurance for occupational injuries, unemployment insurance and employment exchange services. There's also old age and disability pensions, rehabilitation and nursing homes, family welfare subsidies, general public welfare and payments for military accidents. Moreover, maternity benefits are payable up to 52 weeks. Simply, you pay for what you get. Taxes in the U.S. have taken on a pejorative association because, well, we are never really quite sure of what we get in return for paying them, other than the world's biggest military. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-happiest-places-on-earth-are-heavily-taxed?siteid=rss But I thought Republican talking point #203 said that people living in "Socialist" countries were miserable and envied our lives here in the U.S? Maybe because in those Nordic countries they value life more then money. What evidence do you people have that their form of government cannot work here?? You have no evidence because it was never tried in the first place and you cannot give an example of a country where it didn't work.

What career fields fit my personality? I just took a 100q test on livecareer.com because I am having a hard time picking a major. *Each Basic Interest score is displayed as a percentile. For example, a score of 80% means you scored higher in this Basic Interest than 80 percent of people* For work styles I scored: 72% systemic -Systematic Prefers jobs that involve routine but challenging assignments in which order and persistent, steady effort are required. Likes job security to be established, and dislikes frequent changes in schedule and situations requiring quick decisions. 22% persuasive 29% assertive Occupational Interests: 98% health services 96% science 79% art I had initially been pursuing a biology degree with the intent of doing a pre-health profession excluding pre-med (don't like how ill start my life in 30's) but have been flirting with the idea of changing to engineering (chemical possibly). Reason behind this is because I find memorization classes boring and hard to learn. Maybe because Biology is boring atm... but I do like messing with equations to solve problems like in chemistry and physics (even tho they are hard at times). Only beef I have with engineering and chem e specifically is that I dont want to have to move around. Prefer a stable job. So are there anything else out there that may fit my personality and likes?

Why are we all buying in to the talking points of this administration? Why are we all buying in to the talking points of this administration... They pick & choose what they would cut... Medicare & Social security does NOT HAVE TO BE on the table. We have HUNDREDS of GOVERNMENT AGENCIES/DEPARTMENTS that could be eliminated. Most of them are redundant anyway. Just an example we have Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) they are: The United States government's principal agency for protecting the health of all Americans and providing essential human services. So why do we need: Administration for Children and Families (ACF) Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Health Resources and Services Administration Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission Administration on Aging (AoA) Administration on Developmental Disabilities And this is just 1 example. We need to REDUCE the size of this government... And they are NOT EVEN talking about that.

Physical Therapy vs. Occupational Therapy? I'm torn between these two career choices, but the whole process confuses me. I am a senior in high school and beginning to apply to colleges. Neither of these are majors in colleges or universities, so what do I do? Do I go to a university and go towards health service majors? Do I have to go to college and get my associates or bachelor's before I go to a PT school? What schools can provide this for me? My parents will only let me go to school where I have family. That is: Nevada, California, Colorado, Virginia, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Is it easier to get a job in PT or OT? I am just torn between these because my whole high school career I've been focused on PT, but I do volunteer work for mentally disabled children and love it, so I think being an OT would be great, as well!

Minnesota has been among the top two states since 1990. Vermont is ranked second this year and has consistently moved up in the rankings for the last five years. New Hampshire is number three, followed by Utah, Hawaii and North Dakota. Mississippi is 50th and the least healthy state, while Louisiana is 49th. Tennessee, South Carolina and Arkansas complete the bottom five states. Minnesota is first this year, a position it has held for 10 of the 16 years since the 1990 Edition. Minnesota’s strengths include ranking first for a low rate of cardiovascular deaths, a low premature death rate and a low percentage of uninsured population. It is also in the top five states for a low percentage of children in poverty, a low total mortality rate, a low infant mortality rate, a low occupational fatalities rate, a low rate of motor vehicle deaths and a high rate of high school graduation. Minnesota’s biggest challenges are a high prevalence of smoking at 20.7 percent of the population, a high prevalence of obesity at 22.6 percent of the population and limited access to adequate prenatal care with 75.8 percent of pregnant women receiving adequate prenatal care. Mississippi is 50th this year, down from 49th in the 2004 Edition. It has been in the bottom three states since the 1990 Edition. The state ranks well in all three health policy measures: 8th for access to adequate prenatal care, which is available to 81.8 percent of pregnant women; 11th for per capita public health spending, at $197 per person; and 14th for immunization coverage, with 84.0 percent of children ages 19 to 35 months receiving complete immunizations. It ranks in the bottom five states on nine of the 18 measures: a high premature death rate, a high infant mortality rate, a high total mortality rate, a high rate of cardiovascular deaths, a high percentage of children in poverty, a high prevalence of obesity, a high rate of motor vehicle deaths, a high occupational fatalities rate, and a high number of limited activity days. It also ranks in the bottom 10 states for two other measures. Table 4 lists the score and ranking for each of the 50 states. Scores presented in the tables indicate the percentage a state is above or below the national norm. For example, a state with a score of 20 is 20 percent above the national average for that component. A negative score means the state is below the national average. When comparing states from year to year, differences in score are more important than changes in ranking.

Big Government and Health Care? This morning I was awoken by my alarm clock powered by electricity generated by the public power monopoly regulated by the US Department of Energy. I then took a shower in the clean water provided by the municipal water utility. After that, I turned on the TV to one of the FCC regulated channels to see what the national weather service of the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration determined the weather was going to be like using satellites designed, built, and launched by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. I watched this while eating my breakfast of US Department of Agriculture inspected food and taking the drugs which have been determined as safe by the Food and Drug Administration. At the appropriate time as regulated by the US congress and kept accurate by the National Institute of Standards and Technology and the US Naval Observatory, I get into my National Highway Traffic Safety Administration approved automobile and set out to work on the roads build by the local, state, and federal departments of transportation, possibly stopping to purchase additional fuel of a quality level determined by the Environmental Protection Agency, using legal tender issed by the Federal Reserve Bank. On the way out the door I deposit any mail I have to be sent out via the US Postal Service and drop the kids off at the public school. After spending another day not being maimed or killed at work thanks to the workplace regulations imposed by the Department of Labor and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, enjoying another two meals which again do not kill me because of the USDA, I drive my NHTSA car back home on the DOT roads, to my house which has not burned down in my absence because of the state and local building codes and fire marshal's inspection, and which has not been plundered of all it's valuables thanks to the local police department. I then log on to the internet which was developed by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Administration and post on freerepublic.com and fox news forums about how SOCIALISM in medicine is BAD because the government can't do anything right.

I got offered a job nearly 3 months ago and still waiting for a start date? I got offered the job nearly 3 months ago (in 2 days) and apart from the first load of paper work with my contract, occupational health and crb forms i have not heard from them since. I got my tests and clearances organised within a month and a half. I've kept my recruitment manager updated along the process and was told to wait to hear from them for a start date. Nearly a month later i enquired about a start date since i hadn't heard from them, turns out they hadn't heard from one of my references and if i could chase it. I did (my university tutor) and he said he had sent it to them at the beginning. He kindly said he would re-do it if he got the forms again. I told them that (by email, their chosen form of contact) 2 and a half weeks ago and that was the last i've heard. I'm still waiting and not sure what to do now. Continue waiting or try to contact them again. I'm desperate to work and really need the money, just came out of university, but i'm worried about pestering them in-case they can change their mind! They're a huge health care service/business so don't know why i'm being messed around.

I need a job change! please help!? I have been a bartender for years now and I want to change jobs... but I have no idea what to do! I plan on joining the police force within 6-12 months, so I just want a job to fill the time between now and joining the police force. I have a few qualifications that I will list below, as well as my interests. Please make any suggestions that may be of use, as well as being achievable! I dont really care what industry I get into, but i just want to get out of the bar. I dont like the food/restaraunt industry. Most of the industries that I've thought of (health and safety, emergancy services, Driving etc) require more qualifications/experience that I have, so what do I do?? thanks! *senior First Aid *HR drivers License (no expericence) *some admin experience *market research experience *extensive Bartending skills *retail experience *Occupational Health and Safety Cert III I know I could stay bartending, But for personal reasons I need to leave the bar I'm at now, and I want a change, so I figure I may as well try something new! but thanks for your answer anyway :)

What kinds of occupational complaints do service workers have?Would unionization may be able to help resolve s Is there any reason why a "new collar" worker would not want the same benefits and clout that "blue collar" workers were able to get by unionizing? What might be some of the reasons why a "new collar" worker would be hesitant to join a union? What do you feel are the future prospects of unions in the service industry? Why? Unions now represent only 13.2 percent of the labor force (called "blue collar" workers). If the figure goes much lower, unions may become irrelevant as a force in business. The answer, many union organizers believe, is to now organize service workers (clerical workers, insurance agents, nurses, teachers, mental health aides, computer technicians, loan officers, auditors, and salespeople). It is expected that most of the future job growth in the United States will be in service businesses. The question is whether or not unions will be able to win over service workers (also called "new collar" workers). There are some 20 million such workers, more than the AFL-CIO’s current 13 million members. To reach these workers, labor unions have to broaden their traditional bread and butter (money) appeals to include quality-of-work concerns such as career development, professional autonomy, and dealing with technological change. Thus unions may push issues such as pay equity, career ladders, child care, job training, and stress management. Workers will also have to be won over by successful union marketing. Most service workers are not very familiar with unions, and there is some resistance to union organizing. Nonetheless, unions have made some progress. A recent survey found a growing discontent among non-union workers over pay and job-advancement opportunities. More than 75 percent feel that unions generally improve pay and working conditions. The survey indicated that 53 percent of non-union service workers would react favorably to having union representation. Some unions that have had success recruiting service workers include the Service Employees Union, the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees Union, and the National Union of Hospital and Health Care Employees. One union that is doing a particularly good job of listening to employee needs and adjusting to them is AFSCME, the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees. The union’s campaign emphasized issues such as workplace dignity and safety, pay equity, and career development. One worker who joined has a complaint that many new computer workers have. She keys information from tax forms into computers, and her work is monitored to see if she meets daily goals. If not, she receives warnings. This management style is greatly resented by some workers.

Health and Social Care Homework!!!? I have to do this Health and Social Care assignment and we had to read a case study. Here is the story: Mrs Poole is independent but has suffered a stroke at home. She was found by a friend who called an ambulance and she was admitted to hospital. After she had been in hospital for a week the hospital social worker called a meeting of all the people who were looking after her. At the meeting were the doctors,nurses,dietician,physiotherapist and also Mrs Poole herself. It was hoped that she would go into a residential home but Mrs Poole felt strongly that she wanted to go back to her own home,although the doctor and the rest of team did not agree. However Mrs Poole's wishes had to be taken into account and it was agreed to organise community services to help her live as independent a life as possible in her own home. It was agreed that she would receive the following: -Meals-on-Wheels seven days a week,until she could cook her own meals again -Support from the community/district nurse - A carer to bather her 4 times a week -A home carer to cook her breakfast and evening meals -Support from the occupational therapist to show her how to look after herself again After 6 months a second meeting was called bu the social worker, as Mrs Poole's health had gone worse. Mrs Poole agreed to enter a residential home.She visited a number of establishments before deciding on one she liked. When she was admitted to the home she was encouraged to stay registered with the same doctor and to keep in touch with her friends. That was the story now the questions 1) Describe the methods of referrals used in the case study. 2) Explain the role of all the professionals in the case meeting 3) What was Mrs Poole's role in the case meeting 4) Which elements of the care value base have been met in the case study 5) Describe how the workers in this case empowered Mrs Poole THANK YOU guys so much it will really mean so much to me cause this is the last question of the assignment and I have to hand it one Monday and I really want to finish the assignment so I don't have to think about it anymore!!! Why are you being so mean Caitlin I was just asking a question and if you don't wanna waste you time why are you coming to this section : HOMEWORK HELP!! Maybe there are some people that would like to help so go AWAY!!!!!

Could anyone list services that are available for developmentally disabled children in Maryland? Besides speech, occupational, physical and behavioral therapy, I wanted to find out if there were any other services. Are there any Centers dedicated to address the children's needs particularly? Where I live, there is an agency D.D.D (Division of Developmental Disabilities) that provides referrals for families to accomplish many tasks that can be hard to complete with and/or for our kind of children. My child has autism. This agency I'm speaking of provides assistance finding pediatric dentists that have experience with children like my child. Also, they provide home health aides to come into your home to assist with the child for whatever reason you may need them to, whether it be to stay with the child while the parent runs errands, or just needs a break or a nap, lol. Financial assistance is available for purchases for the child as well. Income is not a factor, your family could gross a million dollars and you will still be eligible. I would like to know if Maryland has this?

Can i claim compensation from the NHS? If so how? I was admitted to the Urology ward due to increasing pain passing urine and some extreme pain from my left kidney. They ran some tests and afer the second day they found that i had a kidney and a bladder stone. They organised me to have an operation to remove them and so they put me on the urgent waiting list. I was told this could be around 3 weeks wait so i recieved a doctors sick note for this time. I didnt hear anything at all from them about my op in this time, so i went back to them and asked what the situation was and they said nothing's been sorted yet. So i had to get another sick note to cover me for the next 3 weeks. 6 weeks since my admission and still no news, the money from my job (working for another local hospital) has been slowly becoming less and less while the pain and discomfort has become more and more. After calling secretaries, service managers and the occupational health staff they've all dropped the ball and here i am at now 11 weeks without working, in October i'll be recieving no pay at all. I'm still yet to recieve word from anyone. On one phone call to the service manager she said i'd been put on the inpatient waiting list when i should be on the out patient one, she said i should be hearing something from them in 24 hours, it's now 5 days later and when i try to call her back, it goes straight to answer phone. All i want is to be back in my job earning money ready for christmas, i've already had to put off buying a new car because of this. How do i claim and would i get compensation? I've still not had my operation, i want the money back that i've lost so far and the money i'll continue to lose till they've sorted it out. I'll see after the operation if they're time wasting mess ups have caused me extra damage. On my TTO letter they said they were gonna do lasertripsy with the camera into my bladder, zap the stone into pieces and extract then move on up into my kidney, sounds painful, i really hope they put me to sleep for it. That is, when they get round to seeing me. Thanks for your concern and for reading my lengthy story lol

Getting back in the military and mental health? Hello I want to get back into the military and when I was in I went to mental health once because I was having a difficult time in basic training and just wanted to talk things out. On the evealuation form the counseler said maniliy good things except she said my behavior was passive, and in the remarks section she put down AXIS I occupational Problem and AXIS II deferred, and on the next remarks side she wrote that "Soldier reports a loss of motivation to be in the Army. While he denies feeling anxious or depressed, he reports feeling stressed out with problems getting along with his peers. Soldier was wavied to enlist for his histroy of counseling and his eye surgery in 2002. The Unit referral notes that Soldier " has potential...". Soldier does not have a mental illness, history of substance abuse or legal problems. He was a good student in high school with some peer relationship difficulties. Soldier has completed 2 years of college and would perfer to be back in college at this time. He had a good employment record prior to his enlistment into the Army. Soldier returned to duty with no restrictions. His retention should be based upon his performance, attitude, and motivation as determined by the Unit. No further CMHS intervention appears warranted at this time." Now is all this going to be a problem as far as getting back in? I mean I'm worried about her saying my behavior is passive and that she put down occupational problem. Do you think I can get back in? Any input and advice would be greatly appreciated Thank you very much! I received a chapter eleven failure to adapt uncharacterized discharge, with an Re code of 3, a separation code of JGA and a Narrative Reason of Entry Level Performance and Conduct. I left because I had gotten hurt and started getting beat up by the other recruites who thought I was faking it, I missed training and became unmotivated by all this. Well I know that an Re code of 3 means that I have to get a wavier. Everything else she wrote down was that I met the retention standards and was physciactrically cleared to go back to duty. She put me down as normal for everything else except my behavior as being passive. What does Passive even mean? Yes it is my Dream to be in the military and all i want is to be able to look back on my life and say that I was in the Service thats all! Thanks th791 I appreciate your response. The thing though is that I didn't get a medical discharge it was just a chapter 11 failure to adapt uncharacterized discharge it didn't have anything to do with medical stuff. My CO even said to me that it's not a medical discharge.

What does the letter for military occupations signify? For example a Bravo vs a Foxtrot? Is there any rythm or reason?

Do the work schedules of pilots on low cost airlines compromise pax safety? How many flights/day max allowabl? Lords urge more air seat space Many UK airlines already meet or surpass the Lords' recommendations There must be a new minimum distance between seats on UK airlines in order to ensure passenger health and safety, an influential report says. The House of Lords Science and Technology Committee says limited space on some carriers may stop passengers properly adopting the brace position. It is also concerned about the risk of blood clots in more cramped seating. Most UK airlines meet the Lords' recommended 30" (76 cm) pitch. Others, including Easyjet, do not on all seats. Seat pitch is the distance between the back of one seat and the back of the seat behind. We heard concerns from the unions that the work schedules of pilots working for low-cost airlines may be putting passengers' lives at risks. Lord Patel A spokeswoman for Monarch, the majority of whose seats on short haul flights are 29" (73.7cm), said the airline would be "evaluating the recommendations", but stressed that roomier seats were available for a small fee. The House of Lord committee also said it wanted airlines to ensure pilots had appropriate rest periods, following reports from the unions that the schedules of those working for low-cost airlines may be putting lives at risk. "Air-crew occupational health has featured heavily in our report," said Lord Patel, who took part in the inquiry. The panel also said there was not as yet adequate scientific evidence to prove a link between contaminated air on flights and long-term ill health, but it did stress there needed to be thorough research into the issue. Whose problem? But it said action was needed on seat distances, calling on the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) to increase the minimum seat pitch to 30". This is primarily due to the committee's concerns about passengers not being able to adopt the brace position in a crash landing, but fears about deep vein thrombosis (DVT) also played a role. Blood clots can form in the lower limbs during long periods of immobility - and can kill if they travel to the lungs - although the risk of this remains low. The minimum distance between seats is currently 26" (66cm), which translates into a pitch of about 29", depending on the type of seat. The committee feels that an extra tax on those who have a medical need for extra leg room is unfair House of Lords statement But the CAA said it did not hold responsibility for this, and that any changes to minimum distance had to be made at a pan-European level by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). The committee did in fact also raise concerns about the number of CAA health responsibilities which have been transferred to the EASA, arguing that until the European body had proved itself "competent", those powers should remain with the CAA. It also criticised the government for taxing premium economy services on long haul flights at the same rate as first class travel. "It points out that premium economy was intended to represent a small extra charge to guarantee leg room to those who require it. "The committee feels that an extra tax on those who have a medical need for extra leg room is unfair." A spokeswoman for EASA said it was looking into the report, but that it primarily saw seat distance as one of comfort, and only one of safety in terms of how quickly an aircraft could be evacuated.

a long question but can you advise ? i have A fear of dismissive authority figures - what do i do ? i have a fear of condescending, abrupt, aloof, dismissive authority figures and what their capable of since the experience at my last doctors practice over a year ago.. everytime i went staff their were aloof, dismissive and abrupt and treated me like i shouldnt be making appointments to go there , like im wasting their time.. i got tired of one particular doctor always dismissing me and talking down to me, so one day i went there, my doctors head was cupped in her hands as if to say '' what do i want now ? '' - '' my problems are just in my head '' - i got exasperated with this behaviour and said annoyed '' i dont come hear to be treated or spoken to like this ! '' she dismissed me out the room while her mobile rang, i got annoyed with recption to and told them i dont go there to be treated like garbage.........i made a written formal complaint through a independant complaints agency. and the gp practice logged on their system that it was me who was inappropriate and who had an aggressive out burst , so i left that gp practice of my own accord, because after the complaint the reception i got was even more unfriendly and dismissive.. ive now been with a new gp surgery over 6 months , they seem more corteous and friendly , but my present doctor is still ' distant ' and aloof with me at times ... i have numerous things going on that im going to need to be in contact with my doctor with regularly ; a skin complaint on the head of my penis , cracked skin , wanting a 3rd opinion , another symptom i want looking into , a reoccuring symptom that isnt going away.. i have torn ankle ligaments due to a sprain a year ago, so im doing physio and may need an operation on my ankle its very weak.. my doctor said weeks ago ' he wouldnt of refered me for a 3rd opinion about my skin problem because how many opinions do i need ? '' he was quite abrupt when he said it to... bottom line is : i have alot of things going on right now, possible referals, things looking into , a psychotherapy referal because my mental health team said thers no 1 one 1 therapy available in my area - and im scared of being dismissed or condescended that its all in my mind or some other excuse - me becoming agitated and annoyed , and then them ' turning it around against ' me them all turning on me - banishing me from the surgery or any other action against me ? how do i face this problem ? because i really need the health services right now both mental and physical. i have BPD and ptsd traits, struggle with aggression and rage, high anxiety aggraphobia , scared to leave my apartment , persecutory paranoia that everyones against me. ive had an hard misfortunate life filled with trauma and abuse, ive missed out in life on ' social relationships ' forming any relationships - an education and qualifications - i have a criminal record going back 7 years ago and a long psychiatric record- been in a psyche hospital. im 30 years old, 31 in january next year, i live alone in a small apartment on disability , i own nothing except a computer. overall the mental health services have failed me throughout my existence , and only last year i got the diagnosis of borderline personality disorder. my psychiatrist wont persrcibe meds because he said they can be addictive and dangerous and they only last a short time and you have to keep on taking them for benifit . he aggreed i need psychanylitic therapy, i was refered to a group therapy centre for psychotherapy - they assessed me and said because ive been ' isolated ' for so long and still have problems with rage and aggression , that i wouldnt be ready right now to jump into a group therapy scenario , it would be too intense and challenging , and would possiblly stimulate my rage feelings. so they reccommended a local drop in centre near by where i live thats less intense where they do activities & different projects , and theres people there like myself, they reccommended i attend this place to help me ' integrate back into society '. they have provided me with an occupational therapist to help me practically to get out and face my aggraphobia and anxiety through ' desensitization ' - facing the fear gradually... they have told me thers no 1 on 1 individual psychotherapy in my area because of lack of funding - which is what i wanted for my complex social behavioural issues . even my psychiatrist aggreed i need the therapy but has no control over what resources are available in the area. i just want to know, in the situation im in, with all the help im going to need from the health services - i cannot afford to feel or get outraged or aggressive anymore. im scared of what authority figures can do , i feel at the mercy of their dismissive attitudes like i have no say or voice... what do i do if i get dismissive attitudes again f what do i do if i get dismissive attitudes again from authority figures ? im scared of them turning things around on me, them using their authority powers on me , then i get banished from the health services..

Sorry, just posting something so I can copy and paste it....? Exit Essay: Important Jobs in the Future : Senior Citizen Health and Education Assisstant It seems as though everytime you turn on the news, the words bad economy, bankruptcy, and millions of jobs lost seem to show up at least once. It’s probably safe to say that Detroit has been hit the hardest in these tough times. It's economy relied on The Big Three auto companies (GM, Chrysler, and Ford) which are all doing poorly (GM recently filed for bankruptcy). What we need are new jobs, or ‘jobs of the future’. Hopefully, these jobs will release our state and country from the death grip of the recession. The real question is, where can we find these jobs? The Bureau of Labor Statistics 2008-2009 edition of the Occupational Outlook Handbook has a few ideas about what tomorrow’s jobs may be. The handbook says that population is the most important factor in finding new jobs. According to a graph displayed on the website, the population of senior citizens (or people ages 55-64) will increase by 30 % by 2016. The website also shows that educational and health services will be the most important jobs by 2016. Therefore, I believe that a Senior Citizen Health and Education Assisstant will be very important in the future. A Senior Citizen Health and Education Assisstant (or SCHEA) would work in a hospital, assissted living, or retirement home. They would visit their patients (seniors) regularly, making sure that their diet is a healthy one, and that they are getting enough exercise. SCHEAs would also help older people stay educated, by reteaching them things like math and writing, and improving their social skills. SCHEAs could also come to a senior citizens’ home. SCHEAs should have interest and skill in counseling, teaching, and health. Four years of undergraduate college would be recommended, and two years of medical school and a teacher’s degree are also encouraged. SCHEAs should be very well-educated and patient people. I believe that a Senior Citizen Health and Education Assisstant should make a salary of around $100,000. I think this because they have to go to many years of college, and have lots of experience. A Senior Citizen Health Okay, I had to have it @ school, and our school won't allow us to use our e-mails.

Just been diagnosed with BPD, devastated? Just last year, I asked my doctor to refer me to the psychiatrist to see if I could get the possible diagnosis of Borderline Personality Disorder off my health records. Previously, I had had quite a stressful few years as a teen, as my psychiatrist has just been through with me now. Started using the services in 2001 when I was 14 and throughout the years, things gradually got worse- from abusing solvents, lashing out at my parents, to finally being sectioned at 18 under the Mental Health Act. Things got a bit better then as I picked myself up and started a relationship, did well in college, got my grades and eventually getting to where I want to be. I am 22, and have a great ambition in life to become a doctor. I work part time as a bank nursing assistant and enjoy my job, even though shifts are in short supply. Now I think I may as well drop my dreams! I work hard and am doing so to get my final grade for university, but it scares me if people find out about the diagnosis, I will be discriminated against, lose my job and worse, never have kids incase I pass the disorder onto them. The psychiatrist was very understanding and helpful, but insisted I start receiving Dialetic(?) Behaviour Therapy. Thing is, part of me wants to forget I even have this, as I feel like I have been told I have an incurable disease. I told him I didnt want to start the therapy; it's based where I work at the psychiatric hospital, and I am scared colleagues will see me and comment. There is so much discrimination already against patients with PD; I often sit in meetings and the nurses gossip and snigger about Patient X with BPD attention seeking. I really dont want that. Also, I feel like I have wasted alot of my life doing nothing, and want to just get out there and get to uni and follow my dreams. I feel very upset, and have been unable to stop crying since I came home, as it feels like the end of the world. I dont want to tell anyone, but am frightened when it comes to filling in the health check for uni, I will HAVE to put down I have BPD. I once put in a health form for a previous job I had depression and the occupational health department hounded me for ages afterwards, querying it. I dont want to go through that again. Please help. Many thanks.

will i survive this period of my life or is night night for me? ive had a very unfortunate life all my life, since adolecence, been through very traumatic circumstances : bullying, abuse, mental torture , victimisation, missed out on forming any, ' any ' relationships whatsoever, have a criminal past ,, been sectioned in a mental hospital years back, presentley live in a one bedroom apartment on disability owning ' nothing ' except a computer. have no social support network except my aging mother and 1 or 2 online friends . im building my life from scratch. everyday, outside on tv , i see people happily going about their lives, living their lives, full filling their needs , surrounded by family friends , careers , busy lives , jobs every day i see it, people giggling with laughter at the drop of a hat, huge grins with joyous exp[ressions. i feel enraged at this because thats not been my experience ever in life. i feel jealous , bitter , enraged feel like punching those expressions away. i suffer with bpd and ptsd and are reliant on the mental health services for support, they dont even have the therapy im asking for because of lack of resources , individual psychotherapy , so their offering occupational therapy to help integrate me back into society because ive been isolated and an outcast for so long. somebody help, why shouldnt i be enraged or bitter ? people out side in the local community are aloof, stand-offish, distant , non accepting when i try to be friendly , as they have been for sometime , i act desperate for friendship and acceptance from society and i cant disguise it anymore because ive suffered a lonely , miserable life , and missed out on so much , so you cant blame me really ? also found out i could be an empath, ive been a human sponge all my life, absorbed everything bad, all the mental torture and mind games everyones done to me........thats where all the rage comes from, why i struggle with aggression. i have a deep petrifying fear that ill grow an old aged pensioner, lonely , isolated cut off from society, alienated, ostracised and ill die lonely in britain, with the uk establishment to take care of the proceedings and i desperatly dont want that.......my big ambition is to leave the uk, start afresh elsewhere . and please dont somebody say i wouldnt feel that way crap, try walking in my shoes for 17 years and take what i have had to take. i dont really care if i stand alone with a question like this , this is the truth about what i feel. my goals are in no specific order : to leave, emigrate from britain to somewhere low key, coastal and hot. to have a job in IT computers that pays decent enough money to live on. to be independant, self reliant, not rely on the government anymore. to live in my own little home, somewhere hot and coastal. find a significant other a few friends. and thats it. but how will i accomplish that at my disadvantages ? im reliant on so many things right now, mental health support from the mental health services, because i have bpd and a lot of psychological problems, aggression , mixing with people etc. need individual therapy. my ankles injured due to a bad sprain a year back, had a diagnostic operation, damaged the tendons, waiting to hear from the result of the op yesterday. go back to the hospital in 2 weeks. im nearly 31 , what am i going to do ? i just want out of britain, to leave this stupid country thats caused me all my problems , to achieve my goals etc. what am i going to do ?

how can i stop myself from exploding with rage finally because of the complete injustice of my life? heres been my life so far : ive had a very unfortunate life all my life, since adolecence, been through very traumatic circumstances : bullying, abuse, mental torture , victimisation, missed out on forming any, ' any ' relationships whatsoever, have a criminal past ,, been sectioned in a mental hospital years back, presentley live in a one bedroom apartment on disability owning ' nothing ' except a computer. have no social support network except my aging mother and 1 or 2 online friends . im building my life from scratch. everyday, outside on tv , i see people happily going about their lives, living their lives, full filling their needs , surrounded by family friends , careers , busy lives , jobs every day i see it, people giggling with laughter at the drop of a hat, huge grins with joyous exp[ressions. i feel enraged at this because thats not been my experience ever in life. i feel jealous , bitter , enraged feel like punching those expressions away. i suffer with bpd and ptsd and are reliant on the mental health services for support, they dont even have the therapy im asking for because of lack of resources , individual psychotherapy , so their offering occupational therapy to help integrate me back into society because ive been isolated and an outcast for so long. somebody help, why shouldnt i be enraged or bitter ? people out side in the local community are aloof, stand-offish, distant , non accepting when i try to be friendly , as they have been for sometime , i act desperate for friendship and acceptance from society and i cant disguise it anymore because ive suffered a lonely , miserable life , and missed out on so much , so you cant blame me really ? i have a deep petrifying fear that ill grow an old aged pensioner, lonely , isolated cut off from society, alienated, ostracised and ill die lonely in britain, with the uk establishment to take care of the proceedings and i desperatly dont want that.......my big ambition is to leave the uk, start afresh elsewhere . and please dont somebody say i wouldnt feel that way crap, try walking in my shoes for 17 years and take what i have had to take. i dont really care if i stand alone with a question like this , this is the truth about what i feel. my goals are in no specific order : to leave, emigrate from britain to somewhere low key, coastal and hot. to have a job in IT computers that pays decent enough money to live on. to be independant, self reliant, not rely on the government anymore. to live in my own little home, somewhere hot and coastal. find a significant other a few friends. and thats it. but how will i accomplish that at my disadvantages ? im reliant on so many things right now, mental health support from the mental health services, because i have bpd and a lot of psychological problems, aggression , mixing with people etc. need individual therapy. my ankles injured due to a bad sprain a year back, had a diagnostic operation, damaged the tendons, waiting to hear from the result of the op yesterday. go back to the hospital in 2 weeks. im nearly 31 , what am i going to do ? i just want out of britain, to leave this stupid country thats caused me all my problems , to achieve my goals etc. i feel overwhelmed at the full magnitude about everything i have to work through and how long it will take and disadvantages im at.....im nearly 31 for godsake. i feel like times running out and in a major hurry to achieve goals, leave england etc. thats most things that have happened, and add the present day stresses i have to cope with , its a lot to deal with. i have managed rage and aggression very well for years now but: how do i stop the urge to completley go off it, explode with rage and lose the plot because of everything thats happened to me ? maybe its because its xmas time but im feeling extra pressures, depression, isolation, insecurity, and at this time of the year , the bad memories are re surfacing .

at this stage of my life , what can i do with my time to move nearer to my ambition - the life i want? because i feel suspended in time - trapped here and stationed in this situation - governed - restricted and controlled . i sprained my ankle a year ago, fell over badly , it swelled up and i thought nothing of it , but since then ive been easily twisting it and falling over on it. i decided to chase up investigations, i had an MR scan on it which apparently was unclear , but showed ' abnormalities ' in my ankle - they are unsure where tendons are torn but are doubtful i fractured anything because the scan wouldve shown this. i went to the hospital and they told me that this operation i will likely need to determine what is wrong in my ankle , but it was up to me.. she said it is a small keyhole operation, that i would go under general anaesthetic , and that i would be under for 3 quarters of an hour, and probably require an overnight in there. im terrified because ive never been under general anaesthetic before, where they put you out , the hospital today looked gloomy, grim, desolate, it is situated in a grim part of the city , grey and dismal.........in hospitals people go there to die, people at the end of their lives , and im terrified of the whole ordeal . in general : im now nearly 31 and never forged a single friendship, i get to clingy, to emotional, to insecure, want intimacy straight away, have poor conversational skills and maintaining a conversation i find very difficult. ive had an unfair life, made mistakes , have a criminal record over 7 years back, - live in a one bedroom flat on disability benefits , i own hardly no material possessions - been in a mental hospital, got no employment history- no qualifications - have psychological disorders im receiving and chasing help for, im nearly 31 years of age. i live alone in a one bedroom apartment alienated from society, reliant on help from the mental health services. i have a personality disorder and ptsd traits. i have a criminal past, a mental health record, no employment history because of a hard, unfortunate life, no qualifications . i own literally nothing except an old computer, i live of benefit like a parasite , have no carpets on my floor, a crap matress for a bed etc. theres no individual psychotherapy in my area due to lack of resources but their offering an occupational therapist to help me practically , to integrate me back into society, get doing things and involved with things. i know eventually i will get the the individual therapy i want. meanwhile my goals are : which im not prepared to compromise is ; leave england - move to spain somewhere near a quiet coast with a computer job, find a wife and a simple quiet life. thats all. im obviously trapped, reliant on help from all angles right now - i feel ' suspended in time ' im disadvantaged, im well into adulthood now - how can i move towards my dreams and eventual goal ?
