Didn't speak yesterday (I was working from home). Today noticed in his calendar catch up with me at 2.30 ( he never sent me invite or mentioned it). Time past and I noticed it had changed to 3.30 (again no invite and no mention). Now changed to Thursday at 10.30 (still not told me).

I had calmed down and anxiety bit better now sky high again and probably 2 more sleepless nights before Thursday

Litigation is most likely the last thing you want to think about but a long server like you should not be pissed about by a newish manager.
You may never need the info but keep a secret detailed log of your treatment. Every little detail.
Good luck and look after yourself.
 
Had an telephone chat with my doctor and decided morphine is to big a jump right now but i can double my pregablin to max levels over three weeks to try and ease the pain , if i can get back to walking i will be happy and my mood will be a lot better. Feel happier now i have got a plan

He's changed meeting to 3.30 then to day at 10.30 then to 11 then to 11.30 and it never took place. Anxiety sky high for 2 days worrying about it.

Made appointment to speak to counsellor on Monday (first time in my 62 years ever done anything like that)

Make sure you document everything, including today's pissing about.

I would like to second what @mackenzie says. It was nearly always the first thing I said to my Union members. Document everything. One thing I’d add though. Make sure your documentation is well ‘hidden’. Good luck. No one should be treated this way.

Still no meeting with manager. I have appointment with consultant re anxiety this morning. Already cancelled it once due to anxiety of all reasons then rebooked it

I hope the appointment was helpful and the situation with your manager is resolved soon so you don’t have to continue to deal with that nonsense.

As others have said, make sure to document everything and remember that this behaviour from them is not normal or acceptable, and is not a reflection on you, but rather on them.
 
Going in for surgery this afternoon to hopefully correct a breathing issue that arose in the past month, so won’t be on much over the next week or so (but hopefully back to relative full force afterward).

I hope everyone is doing as well as possible and, if not, is able to get the support they need (on here and elsewhere).

See you on the other side.

Thanks appointment was very good. Found it really useful. Still no meeting with manager, he has team meeting in calendar for tomorrow rather than earlier ones which just had my name in them

Good luck! You were great when I was somewhat unwell and I know you’ll be right.

Cheers -- went well and I am now recovering. Should be discharged by Sunday, but in the meantime the missus has setup my laptop so I can stalk the forum, read articles, and play a bit of Civ 6 to pass the time.

Hope everyone is doing well and is ready for an absolute smashing of wolves tomorrow.

Fingers crossed it's nothing serious. A friend of mine recently had something similar, she had to have a colonoscopy which obviously isn't at the top of anyone's list of fun times, but it came back that she had diverticulitis which is one of the best outcomes it could have been.

It can be many different things. Any diagnosis is the first step and then you’re in the best possible hands if you need further help.
