I met with the person at the Crisis Centre and I will be staying there a few days.
I called my place of work and the manager wants me to meet her this afternoon. I will go after my pdoc appointment.

Maxime well that sounds positive with the job. You really think you're entering crisis? Will or can you let me know what happens with both? Good luck ps and I agree with your signature. Love Phillipa

I'm pleased that you're able to stay at the centre for a few days, I think it may help you.

First, I saw my pdoc today. He says that he finds me interesting in that I keep on going on despite how crappy I feel. Then I told that I was really tired of "going on" and that I had plans to kill myself. We talked about that for while and other stuff too. He thinks it's good idea for me to go to the Centre.
He prescribe Dextradrine Spansules which I will try tomorrow.
Now here is the weird part. I was fired because .... I sent an email to one of my coworkers saying that I know that I had been fired and that I would come by to pick up my stuff. Then I had gone into the British Store and told them that I had fired. So I will never know if I was going to be fired, but now it's official. I left the store and went into the Metro bawling. The good thing about living in a big city, you can sit on bench bawling and no one will approach you.
So now I am on my way to the Centre. They don't have computers for the clients. But I will have to come home once a day to help my mum and if I have time I will post.
Thank you so much for your support. I really appreciate it.
Maxie

Um,er, based on all my posts etc. you don't think I am in crisis? Or did you mean the Crisis Centre?

I'm so happy you're going to the crisis center and that your p-doc is supportive. Also, the series of events that led to your being fired is pretty bizarre and sounds like it really wasn't your fault. Maybe they just didn't need you on the schedule and you jumped to conclusion you were fired and shared that with others? Whatever, it's not a reflection on you personally or your ability to do a job.
Good luck and good wishes.

Hi Maxie,
That is the strangest reason to be fired that I have ever heard!
I hope you get lots of support at the centre.

I am still at the Crisis Centre ... well, right now I am home. I needed to get some warmer clothes.
I find the Centre helpful because whenever I feel really bad there is always someone to talk to. Plus I have my own worker who I meet with twice a day.
I am going to be staying a little longer even though you are only suppose to stay a week.
I started the dexedrine spansules and they are helping ... but depression looms in the background.
Thanks for all your support.

Home to pick up some stuff. I have a job interview tomorrow so I needed some different clothes. The Centre made me call them when I got home and I have to be back in two hours. They realise how suicidal I am.
Really not feeling good at all. :(

Maxime I'm glad the people at the centre recognize your distress level and care. You deserve good care.
Thanks for the update. ((hugs))

I left the Centre tonight. As soon as I walked into my house I felt stress and pressure. You are only allowed to stay at the Centre for one week and they let me stay a little longer.
I had a job interview yesterday and I will find out on Friday if I got it. I would be starting on Monday. It's a job in my field so if I get it, I will do a little happy dance.
Of course I can call the Centre any time I want for support, or just have someone listen.
I am coming down with a cold and because of the MAOI there is nothing I can really take but Tylenol. It's so frustrating.
So yup, I am back.

Hi Ed, the job is at the Boys and Girls Club. I will be an animator for the computer program. Here is the interesting part ... it's for senoirs. I think it's the only Boys and Girls club with seniors! I would be responsible for creating the courses and marketing material. And it's only 15 minutes from where I live.
I really hope I get it. :)

I GOT THE JOB! I just found out about 40 minutes ago.
I will be working at the Boys and Girls Club. I will be an animator for their senoirs computer courses, marketing, and web maintenance. I start on Monday! I think it's the only B&G club that caters to seniors.
I am so excited! It's close to home so I won't spend a lot on gas. There is bus access from the top of our street in case I do need to take the bus.Best of all, this is in my field!
I feel good. I still feel the aches and pains, but I they are easier to endure.
I wish I could have a party with all my PB friends!
