Fraulein,
I'm sorry things are going so bad. I haven't worked in about two years, and I'm really hoping to get back in school. I can't go back to the kind of work that I used to do, and in talking with my therapist I'm hoping to work in a new career.
I really understand the part about not getting to work on time. I remember times when my alarm would go off and I would keep hitting the snooze button. I would look at it and say "I've got a few more minutes". After a few more minutes, I had no time.
I suppose I was fortunate. I was in the Air Force and had an understanding boss.You might want to talk to HR at your last job and see if they can place an addendum to your file. You could talk to your supervisor and explain your illness and see if he might change the answer he gives when a potential employer calls. What your former employer says isn't necessarily etched in stone.
One failure doesn't portend future failures. I'm certain that you will get there. You also have the option of seeking SSDI. If your T, or psychiatrist deems you disabled, you might get it retroactive to the time you lost your job. This could also give you the money to help you find something else.
I really hope that you find something to help you out. I'm wishing you luck, and I'll do some cheerleading for you.
Dee.
