- Be careful
  
  SimonT+ posted a topic in General Policing Discussions, November 25, 2018
  
  I'm in a new role at the moment. It's stressful, but not overly so and certainly not more than I have dealt with for years. It is a new challenge so in I have dived.
  
  For the last couple of weeks I have been irritable, angry, short tempered and generally unpleasant to be around. But I didn't notice.
  
  It wasn't until my other half called me on it that I realised that something was up. Some significant introspection later and I feel pretty good. Its like my irritation has been washed away.
  
  The reason I mention it is that I genuinely didn't realise. I like to think I'm pretty solid mentally and mental health and welfare is an interest of mine. So it was a surprise to find something awry without any obvious reason.
  
  So take care of yourself and listen to people concerned about you.
  
  Also,
  
  The charity Mind have support specifically for emergency services.
  
  Your local federation will have support available and the backup buddy app can signpost you to all sorts of immediate and long term help.
