Hi everyone, i have been lurking behind the scenes but now my diagnosis is confirmed. I have fibromyalgia and ME. I work in a busy department and have recently moved to a new team. Half younger folk half older upto and including my age (61). On the outside i dont look or act my age and i have always been actuve. This has changed leading up to my diagnosis and i am struggling to work part of my job quickly enough aa they changed the system and its a case of learning on the job. However i work for the emergency services part time and have plenty of time off. Im finding i go in and firget the simplest thing so when I do the important part of the job i have to concentrate a lot harder than i used to. I am beung complained abiut by some members of my team despute them knowing im struggling instead of helping they report me and this has knocked my confidence. My team leader states he has no issues apart from the staffs complaints and now i feel whats the point in it all. The simplest task is very hard for me. I have said im more than happy for the team to be made aware, but i feel some look at me and judge what they see on the outside. I cant chamge my role, cant move teams as most are supportive, just feel a right downer. Every time I readjust someone shakes my confidence in there. Any advice on how to get across to them how i feel when i hardly know myself x
