A relapse, a sudden series of attacks, a string of awful days (or whatever your step back may be), does not decrease your value.
Take your time, do some self-care, even if it’s just being proud that you got through another day. Reflect on the progress you’ve made.
You are strong: One step back is nothing when you look at the journey you’ve already made.
You aren’t alone.
Why do people never talk about the part of depression when you just don’t want anything anymore? Everybody talks about when it hurts like hell, when you cry, when you cut, when you take drugs, when you break down. But no one ever talks about when you just lay down in your room, with a hole inside of you that you don’t know how to fill, and you don’t want to do anything even things you usually like. So, you just spend your day kinda waiting for it to end and it’s horrible because you feel empty and guilty for that at the same time.
Todd Panas (President of the Union of Health and Environment Workers) recognized the challenges that the membership/workforce faces with regard to harassment and bullying in the workplace. Little progress was made in reducing toxicity and he chose to ‘raise the bar’ with a simple solution: respect in the workplace.
Respect is a simple word that encompasses a solution to the most complex issues facing the workforce.

Everyone experiences symptoms of anxiety, but they are generally occasional and short-lived, and do not cause problems. But when the cognitive, physical and behavioural symptoms of anxiety are persistent and severe, and anxiety causes distress in a person’s life to the point that it negatively affects his or her ability to work or study, socialize and manage daily tasks, it may be beyond the normal range. People with anxiety disorders have excessive levels of anxiety that significantly interfere with day to day to living.
Think about your mental health. What do you do to take care of it? Dedicating even a short amount of time every day to taking care of your mental health will rejuvenate you and give you confidence. It can also prevent the onset or relapse of a physical or mental illness.

Budget bill gives government the power to impose sick leave deal it wants.
The proposed measures are another shot at the labour rights of the 17 federal unions, which the government had already eroded leading up to this controversial round of bargaining over sick-leave benefits.
In 2013, the government changed the rules for collective bargaining in a budget bill that significantly diminished the unions’ bargaining clout. The unions are challenging that legislation in court.

WE WILL PROTECT OUR SICK LEAVE
