Does anyone else here feel the panic over applying for jobs? That area where you put your last job and why you left?
Last job for me: I was fired. I got too depressed to face the day, I had become such an overachiever and was expected as my norm to do more than a normal days work. My daughter got her deployment papers and I just could not face going to work. I could not face crying at work. 3 days of no-call, no-show... and I was fired.
The job before it was a 15 year career job that I ended up with a disability from. So, what do I put there? I left because I am Bipolar?
Fired and Bipolar... file 13..
I don't like to lie, I don't like to fill out applications. I panic over how ignorant the general public is about mental illness and how few resources we have to be functional w/o relying on Uncle Sam. I panic over the days I may not be able to act "normal" and just get fired again.Anyone else?
