Nikki,
I always perceive hospital warnings as threats also. Probably because I have never been helped in one. I think Noa is right about seeing someone else- if you have to lie to your pdoc because you don't feel safe with him, how can that possibly help you? It took me over a dozen to find my present pdoc, he understands how hospitals are scary places for me, and if I have suicidal ideation I know I can call him and talk about it without fear of commitment. It seems like that is the type of person you need too. I have been on disability for 3 years now (ever since this rapid cycling started), I know the stress of a job would make everything worse. What are your options? It sounds as if your job has become to stressful, and sometimes just removing that will help you feel better. Does the UK have some kind of protection for people with disabilities like the U.S.'s ADA? If it does then your job has to accomodate your panic attacks by law and "warnings" are illegal. I hope there is something like that in place there, and I really hope you begin to feel better soon- judy
