Make a long story short, I am 6 months into a Human Rights case against my employer, but they are saying they must know what Medication I take (because of the type of meds they are), It take for ADHD, Anxiety, and Nocturnal Anxiety/Panic Attacks. They said as a condition of my employment, I must sign a consent of release of information, so they can speak to my Psychiatrist. I got it last Wed. Im not singing. I called the Human Rights Comission, to which they told me Not to sign anything. Labour Board, (who dealt with my labour board case against my employer last year) said I have to go into Freedom of Information and Priacy Act. Any suggestions what I can do when I tell them I’m not signing. No I don’t have a lawyer., I can’t afford 1, and legal aid wont accept me. I’m waiting for the next step in my Human Rights case, and my Psychiatrist told me to not say a word. I know they can’tfire me for not giving consent, but Im stuck, I live in Ont. Can.

The Freedom of Informstion act pertains only to government.

They have emailed me a notice, that I have to sign. I told them they have to ask my Psychiatrist directly (that is what my Psychiatrist told me to do). But I think I should show him first, I actually don’t want to tell them what meds I take now, since I already tried to tell them, I fear they are trying to set me up for something worse, as I am 6 months into a Human Rights case against them for harassment/discrimination towards me. As you might know from my previous questions, I am also going through trying to start communication again from my estranged family, whom its been 3 years, when I was "kick out of the family". But, anyway, my medications I take, are Dexedrine (for ADHD), Atarax (for Daytime Anxiety), and Chlorpromazine (for Nocturnal Anxiety/ Panic Attacks). Today at work, I didn’t say a word to anyone for 7.5 hrs. What do I do?

Unless they are going to make you take a formal random drug test related to your job or they tell you EXACTLY WHY they need to know this, DON’T sign anything or give them any information about the medications you take or what they are for.

Your medication is something between YOU AND YOUR DR. and unless you want to give them a list (in case there is an emergency and you must be given a dose) and if they keep pressing you for it, press right back and tell them to give you the drug test and MAKE THEM PAY FOR IT ON THEIR DIME.

If they try to fire you, call or go to your local Dept of Labor office (you can find their phone number in the very front Government section) and file a complaint against them (or even call them for legal advice of what to do.)

Friday when I got to work, I got a phone call from the Area Manager. He told me, HR Department is coming from Toronto to London (where I live), because they want to talk to me about my Human Rights Case, and The Situation At the Store. But, they want to meet with me off of company property.

So when I got home, I called the UFSCW Union Organizer who has been working with me, and my fellow co workers the past couple of week to organize our workplace into a union. She told me the Union will protect me.

Today, I went out and purchased a Digital Recorder. And on Monday, Im going to tell these Head Office people that I will be recording our meeting, and if they say No, then I will tell them, the meeting isn’t happening.

I’m scared that I am going to be fired. Because whenever a Manager, or Assistant Manager is being terminated they do it off of company property. Even though I’m not Management, I am in a unique situation because I have a Human Rights Case on-going against my employer.

Im just worried of what to do, because the last time HR Department talked to me was about 4 weeks ago, when they told me they are getting their lawyers after me because I won’t tell them what Medications I take, or give them permission to talk with my Psychiatrist.

I also think they want to do this off of company property because, how they told me in early June, that because I take my medication while at work, they said I’m putting my co workers in a dangerous situation.

The medications I take are for ADHD, Daytime Anxiety, and Nocturnal Anxiety/Panic Attacks.

Where is the Justice?
The reason for my Human Rights case is for Discrimination and Harassment. Last year, I filed a case with the Labour Board, and won (small "hush money" settlement), and the Manager was fired. He harassed all of us at work, including dateing an employee, and psyhical assulting her (outside of work), then I was harassed, by a new Manager a couple month later to the point, she was making up stories about suicide to get my reaction, and even asked me "Are you going to kill me". Her Bosses did nothing when I told them, and when I told HR department, they told me "Don’t cry like a baby, get over it"

So I filed the human rights complaint.

Listen I don’t know much about your situation but I do believe you have to tell your employers of any medical or phycalocical problems you have. I am sure it is the law. I am not saying you are wrong but they have the right to know, just to be sure no one is in danger…

Secondly don’t tell them you are recording it as long as one side of the conversation knows they are being recorded (you) it is perfectly legal. I have personally done this myself and used it in court and won…

Of course maybe the laws there are diiferent from here in the usa

Where should I move to? http://www.mypanicattacksolution.com/blog/should-i-move-where-should-i-move-to/ http://www.mypanicattacksolution.com/blog/should-i-move-where-should-i-move-to/#comments Fri, 25 Dec 2009 04:02:00 +0000 admin http://www.mypanicattacksolution.com/blog/nocturnal-panic-attacks/should-i-move-where-should-i-move-to Alright, I keep thinking for the past couple of years, I should move. I have been in London, Ontario most of my life. I have graduted College, 2 yrs ago, still no job. I have travelled to Australia, and Hawai (biggest accomplishments).

I have a crappy job in a restaurant where everyone hates me, and I have a Human Rights case against them. I have ADHD, Anxiety, and Nocturnal Anxiety/Panic Attacks.

I have no friends, except my roommate, I have been estranged from my family for 3 yrs, my Psychiatrist, who has known me my entire life, is the closest person to me.

Where should I move? I don’t want somewhere freezing cold, I hate cold, I think about a small town, I keep thinking Nova Soctia or something.

How will I find a place to live? a job? meet new people?
I just want to run away, I’m 24, and just want a new life.

Where should I go?
What should I do?

Are you wanting to stay in Canada? Some of the maritimes have small towns and everyone knows everyone. Still a bit chilly, tho. London is like Detroit, where I am, as far as temperature. The only really temperate area in Canada is out west in BC, which would be a great place to live. Stay around Victoria and that area, it young, its hip- you’d probably like it.

If you want to come to the States, I would recommend North Carolina first, then Virginia, then Tennessee. North Carolina’s east coast touches the sea, and it’s still pretty reasonable to live there. Near 90 in the summer, 50′s in the winter. The west side of the state is beautiful, with mountains, but you pay for that beauty. The climate is pretty temperate, too.

Virginia is like North Carolina only more crowded. The world’s biggest Navy base is there- lots of employment. The place is pretty cheap to live in except for "high-tone" Ghent. And stay away from the northern parts, it’s up against Washington, DC.

Tennessee and Kentucky are cheap, not very crowded, and hilly. Very green. Race horse country. If you stay away from the major cities you could do quite well.

Sorry I don’t know more about Canada, but I’ve only been to Ontario, (Toronto, mostly), Quebec and Ottawa (hockey fan).

Take enough money for 2 weeks and to investigate places; get a feel for the towns and the people. If you move in a small town, everyone will want to meet you and make you a part of the gang. I did that in Connecticut, REALLY small town. nearest neighbor 3 miles away. Loved it. But it’s cold.
Look around for "hiring" signs, talk to people, read the local paper. Jobs in small places are "word of mouth" more than anything.

There’s always Florida where they’re ALWAYS hiring, but up over 100 in the summer, 60-70′s in the winter.

Think hard about why everyone hates you and see if you can fix that. If you express compassion and caring to everyone, chances are they will give it back. It takes practice, but you have many years, yes?

Good luck, email for more info.

For the record: I’ve NEVER had panic attacks while conscious, nor do I have any history of night terrors as a kid.

Anyhoo, when I awakened, I was in a high state of agitation and fear. My heart was pounding like it does when I watch a terrifying movie! The main thing I recall is feeling like I had not been breathing moments before, or that I was not able to breathe, even though I *was* able to breathe. I had NO chest pain, NO irregular heartbeat, NO tingly extremities and NO sweatiness.

I simply had a pounding heart, a feeling of dread/fear, and a feeling like I was in a panic to breathe, perhaps the way I’d feel if someone was trying to drown me. Oh, I also remember I was momentarily confused about what day/time it was and where I was. I can’t recall whether or not I’d had any type of bad dream beforehand. It was all just so sudden! :[
I ran out of room above; here’s some additional info:

- My asthma had been bothering me that day and that night. I wonder if maybe my brain thought it wasn’t getting enough oxygen and panicked, thus awakening me? For the record, I’ve had asthma for about 20 years but have NEVER had "asthma attacks". But I wonder if somehow my asthma was connected to what happened last night? Maybe due to partially constricted airways? (I was not wheezing or dizzy or anything, tho, when I awakened).

- A psychologist and a psychiatrist have diagnosed me with ADHD and have also told me they think I have a co-morbidity of generalized anxiety disorder. Could there be a connection there as well?

- I have actually had these night-time "incidents" in the past as well; maybe once every couple of months. But none were as scary as this one!!
Hi Rnpviger. :) This edit is to answer your questions, although unfortunately there’s only 7 hours left before this question expires and I have to pick an answer.

Anyway, NO to both questions. I’m not at all overweight. In fact, at 5’7" and 120 pounds, I’m almost underweight. (I’m trying to gain weight but it’s hard with my metabolism, which has been checked by several thyroid tests and is apparently normal).

Also, I never eat any type of meal anywhere near bedtime, due to my GERD/acid reflux. I always leave at least 2 hours, and preferrable 3 hours, between my last food intake, and laying down in bed. Not that I eat large meals to begin with; that also triggers my reflux at times. I eat less food than "average" at each meal, but I eat more healthy snacks throughout the day to make up for it.:)
FINAL EDIT — I just did a lot of online research and found a definite connection between asthma and sleep apnea (asthmatics are more likely to have apnea, even if they’re not overweight). I also found a connection between night terrors and sleep apnea. So in any case, I think a call to my doctor is in order, since I only seem to experience these "episodes" when I go to bed with uncomfortable asthma symptoms! And only when I’m lying on my back; I never have trouble on my side or tummy.

Thanks everyone for your support and help! :) Hopefully somewhere down the line, when this question is archived, it’ll help somene ELSE too!

It sounds like sleep apnoea ( apnea) to me.

Esp if anxiety is not a concern to you during your waking hours.

Asthma suffers are prone to this and there are surgical procedures that can help.

You should consider going to a sleep disorder clinic where they can monitor your activity , especially your breathing while you are asleep.

There have been 2 times of the 4 that I can’t move my body . When I can move after a couple of seconds, my body is tingly and my heart is racing. Could this be sleep paralysis or nocturnal panic attacks? Or perhaps both?

It definitely sounds like you have dealt with some sleeping problems. You should do a search on night terrors and parasomnias. They are very interesting and it might give you more insight. If it is disconcerting and if you are having fatigue, then you could have your doctor get you in for a sleep study. They could determine the cause of this through a good sleep lab and perhaps even help you.
