Mentally ill last time
-
I was once mentally ill with anxiety disorder and visited a psycharist.Now i am alot better already. Now i am serving Ns and recently there was an annoucement in my unit's rountine orders asking me to go psychological review.That made everyone in the unit know about my problem.I feel that some of the people there talk less to me than others.I thought all medical records should be kept confidential.Then why the annoucement was made in front of everyone?What do you all think i should do?
-
nothing you can do now, but if you feel like getting the person who announced that in trouble can go ahead and complain.
-
whoever made that RO must have thought its normal. Like maybe example " PTE LOW,please go for your medical check up on XXX". Something like that.
But then, your feelings shld be considered too. -
if it came out in the routine orders then someone must have authorised it.
they should have been more sensitive.
but what to do, thats the army way of doing things. -
hmmz never see RO.
if in RO then can get opple in trouble le. normally who authorise the RO har? S3 ar?

the thing must have came from the medics. -
The problem is the RO is forwarded to everyone anyway.So everyone would know even if the person nv say.They always put alot of names under psychartic review.they should just put medical review sia.Like discriminate people like that put psychartic reviewOriginally posted by dragg:S1, the manpower office.

They must have overlooked your condition when they saw one line in the letter.
"Kindly instruct your personnel that being sent for this testing is not an indication of mental disorder, but as a statistical study."
Something along that line. You were just suay. -
thats how it is though in singapore.Originally posted by Sakuragi86:I not psychotic lei.Its just anxiety disorder.
whenever you have to see a counsellor or psychiatrist or psychologist, pple assume you are insane. crazy. fit to be locked up in IMH. (ok, the last one was a lil extreme
)
perhaps you should speak to someone to let them know that you would appreciate it if they dont announce it in front of everyone next time
you cant do magic and make those who know now forget about it. perhaps you might wanna explain your situation to those whom you are closer to. no harm having a few pple learning something from you... -
actually i dont know if he annonuced to everyone cause i was not there and i was informed by a friend.But it is always forwarded to everyone.so everyone would now.Originally posted by udontknowme:thats how it is though in singapore.

i have NO IDEA why singapore is so insensitive when it comes to issues like these when they really ought to be more sensitive and think about how pple will feel...Originally posted by Sakuragi86:actually i dont know if he annonuced to everyone cause i was not there and i was informed by a friend.But it is always forwarded to everyone.so everyone would now.
is the email a list of pple who need to go for the checkup?
or is it an email for YOU, but forwarded to everyone else?? -
It is an email with a list of people who needed to go for the checkup.But i just called a closer friend in the unit and he told me not to worry as people in the unit dont really mind this sort of thing.You think i am just being to sensitive and thinking too much?Originally posted by udontknowme:i have NO IDEA why singapore is so insensitive when it comes to issues like these when they really ought to be more sensitive and think about how pple will feel...

can talk to PC about it and ask him to help block such public announcements if you're not comfortable with it. It's a simple thing and he'll be able to help you by linking up with s1 br people.
can talk to him about how the people around you may be treating you differently also. maybe he can give you advice about what could be the problem and how situation can be improved -
ahh....then i think you shouldnt have to worry.Originally posted by Sakuragi86:It is an email with a list of people who needed to go for the checkup.But i just called a closer friend in the unit and he told me not to worry as people in the unit dont really mind this sort of thing.You think i am just being to sensitive and thinking too much?

Do you realise how "anxious" you are?Originally posted by Sakuragi86:It is an email with a list of people who needed to go for the checkup.But i just called a closer friend in the unit and he told me not to worry as people in the unit dont really mind this sort of thing.You think i am just being to sensitive and thinking too much?
You are anxious about what others think. Hey you are still suffering form anxiety disorder!
Remember this and always think in this way whenever you are anxious:
Replace your "bad" anxious thoughts with good, positive or reasonable thoughts.
1. Some people in this world like me and some people do not like me. Most people do not care.
2. I will try to be friends with people that like me and I like. I will avoid people I do not like.
3. It is never as bad as I think, I suffer from anxiety disorder.
4. In fact it is better that the RO went out openly. Now I know who the idiots are and who the intelligent people are. Those that jump to conclusions about me simply from one RO are just idiots and I will avoid them as much as possible. Those that read the RO and are still my friends are my good friends.
5. When my good friends are no longer my good friends, I will just look for another friend. There are six billion people in this world. If I cannot find a good friend off-line, then I will find a good friend online.
6. Even if I have no friends, my family is still with me.
7. When people avoid me or treat me bad it is not because they read the RO and remembered the RO but is because:
a. I do not really know and I will not speculate
b. They are just rude, they are brought up that way
c. They don't like me, that is all, just as I don't like some people.
d. I am not their friend and they do not care about my feelings.
e. They do not know that they are hurting my feelings, they are just insensitive people. Sometimes I also hurt others without knowing, I am not a god, but it is no big deal... even if it is because they read the RO it is no big deal, the sun will still rise tomorrow. -

If you are anxious until you find that you are in "distress" - cannot eat, cannot sleep, cannot work, cannot enjoy going out with your friends... for maybe more than three weeks... are you in distress?Originally posted by blu_sky:What is the difference between anxiety disorder and normal anxious?
Otherwise if you are anxious and it is not affecting your life, then that is normal. -
Thanks for your info!Originally posted by AndrewPKYap:If you are anxious until you find that you are in "distress" - cannot eat, cannot sleep, cannot work, cannot enjoy going out with your friends... for maybe more than three weeks... are you in distress?

You are most welcomed, dear!Originally posted by blu_sky:Thanks for your info! -
Maybe if people ask, say something like sadness from death / illness of family member etc. Than at least I think your peers will be more understanding.
