Not sure what to do...

Lengthy, so TL:DR Cannot hold a job due to once a month my back hurts so much I cannot work. Managers do not accept this nor accept it as worth their time keeping employed - Making me feel like killing myself because I cannot hold the job due to something not my fault and feel like I am worthless as a human.

I not been to the doctors around depression or anxiety though I easily get them. If I do a mistake at a workplace I feel terrible, even more so when I know the manager will be upset with me.

I been trying to find work after my christmas temp contract ended because I hate being unemployeed. I finally found one 5 minutes away from me but the training place is 2 bus trips away. I am trying my best to get to the area specially when I need to be there so early in the morning, however I suffer from terrible back pains when it is that time of month.

For 1 day at most I cannot do anything, my back hurts me so much I either cannot settle or try to reduce the pain but all that helps is a waterbottle (heat pads do not offer the same amount of heat to reduce the pain), even with it, I am still in pain so often need a day off to stop the pain so next day it is at least bearable.

My manager has told me the max days off we can have sick in a year is 3 days, any more and you get warnings and leads to losing your job. In most cases they only allow you off more then 3+ days if you are on your deathbed, anything else they say you can come into work with as you are not dying.

I explained this, but now I just been worried all day this training will be for nothing and I will end up back on the dole where I am sent for jobs 2 bus rides away which is not suitable for me or where I "work for free for a month and they call it work experience" which never ends with a job.

What can I do here? I feel like I am just pointless as I human, I want to be useful to the world but how can I when this one flaw stops me working once a month and no one wants to put up with that? My body won't accept tablets or pills and if I try I just throw up, nor can I trick myself into taking them.

My mother has just told me to just deal with it but her back pains are no were close to as bad as mine but she won't understand how I feel with it.

I cannot talk to anyone in my family about how I often feel it be better if I die because they just tell me to grow up with any problem I have forcing me to be distant to sharing my issues/feelings growing up.

Only thing stopping me is thinking what will my best friend feel if I am gone and the thought of her upset just makes me feel even worst of a human because I feel guilty very easily.

I am at wits ends here, I can work and do any job I am told but this flaw just makes people not want to hire me. I am stuck in an endless cycle with no solution.

Hi l don't understand why as you have said your body won't accept tablets.Is it that you are allergic to medication or is a mental attitude to medication?Is there nothing that the doctor can suggest?

All my doctor suggests is pill alternatives even though I told him I cannot take them. Nothing to do with allergies my body just won't swallow or accept them. If the tablet dissolves (can take but only in small drinks and has little to no effect) or is broken up my body still won't take it. 

I tried to force myself to take them and pills but no luck. If I fail to take any I just get upset as I tend to break down crying a lot if I feel I let people down. Which makes my anxiety & depression worst.

Can you possibly take liquid pain relief or is that not possible?

The only liquid pain relief I been told of was with the tablets that dissolve into water but again can only do them in small sips, any more and I will be sick.

I not been told nor found any other liquid-based pain relief, I been hoping there would be like how if you had the flu when little you had that strawberry like spoon full medicine to take but nothing I can find, at least not in the UK. The doctors have not told me of it nor can I find any in stores or pharmacy.

I had trouble taking medication doctors didn't understand. Now I do take pills but they have to be extra tiny or just tiny. I felt the same way I tried to take the pill but I would throw it out and the taste of the pill was horrible. Ask your doctor if there's any way you can take them. My doctor had given me liquid medication. It tasted terrible I would vomit it out. Good Luck hope someone gives you better advice.👍💖

What if you crushed them into a powder put it into a drop of milk?

Excellent suggestion because I cannot swallow some horse pill size vitamin caps.  Now I open the caps and pour contents into milk.  Work.

Already tried that, had little to no effect on me even if I could drink it all

You haven't tried with strong pain relief or if you have l don't know what to suggest.l would use a large spoon rather than a glass of milk.

How about pain patches, hun?

Talk to your doctor about it. You can't vomit something that is stuck to you lol.

If there are pain patches then doctor has NEVER told me unless you mean heat pads which don't do much effect while I am working because I am dizzy from lack of rest and nowhere to sit and let the heat concentrate on the area.

I wish doctors would tell us of everything and not just pills/tablets

I am going to revisit my doctor and ask him about pain patches or liquid medicine for the pain that doesn't involve tablets/pills otherwise I am at a loss

Good idea let us know how it goes please

Hi - yes, I mean medication in a patch, not a heat pad. Good luck.

Very sorry for late reply on this but I found no solution from pills or heat-rub items, however I have been allowed to wear a small strap-like belt which holds a small hot water-bottle on the back to wear while I work which has been doing wonders when I start while at work. My manager has been supportive and allows me to wear it after seeing how bad my back actually got within 1 hour of starting.

Proud to say my manager has been very supportive and amazing with my back-pains issue which I am glad there are some lovely managers out there who understand their employees are just as human as they are!

Doctors still terrible though, even a nurse was not helpful with a work around, still suggesting tablets only >_>
