Okay...started out the day content; things have been going well lately. Then I got fired, and I honestly didn't deserve it. I kept my cool til I was in the car, then I was angry...really angry. I've only been on Lamictil for 5 weeks and it's working really well. I believe that my boss has had it in for me from before the medication, and I admit there was some basis. But I was open and honest with her, haven't missed a day of work, did a great job and even accepted it when I was refused reasonable accommodations. I was given a "Performance Improvement Plan" a week after starting the new medication and since then, I have really been the good employee. The reasons they gave me for termination weren't even valid. So now I'm depressed. On the phone with my brother who is also bipolar and a lawyer...he's not helping much

giving me all the "reality checks" about how the system just sucks. Well, anyway, I've quit crying so that's good. I filed for unemployment, called a few lawyers and now I'm going to do homework in a self-improvement class that I signed up for as part of my commitment to doing a better job. Anybody seeing the irony in this? Think I'll go play with my dogs for awhile instead...
