Thanks for the feedback. It took me so long to figure out that I can't work and get fired over and over and keep a good positive attitude and off that couch.
That is when I started with NAMI and kept getting referrals upon referrals. I went to them with this problem. I wanted a job. I am bipolar. I was fired from my last job. I am a worth-while person and can be an asset in a job, HELP.
I got so many referrals to agencies that by the end of 2 days I was overlapping calling the same people and had a good schedule for this week following the leads.
I hope I have a job, I am still waiting to hear. I am very hopeful because this time I am going in with them knowing ahead of time that I am Bipolar (so are they), I am intelligent (so are they) and I was fired from my last job (ok, no so are they on this one) I am still waiting to hear, but at least I am positive now that I do have choices where I can be what I am and still contribute and have some sense of self worth. At worst, I will volunteer for a while and then get on the payroll.
I hope you too can find a place where you don't have to pretend to be someone you are not. It sure is a refreshing feeling.
