Oh ((((((((inky)))))))))))) I'm so sorry. Have you worked enough hours to get unemployment insurance? You can tell them that you have health issues and have your pdoc to write a letter to that affect, which explains why you lost your job. Basically, because of your health, you were late and was let go because of that. I told the UI people that I lost my job because of my health issues - and they (UI People) were very nice to me.

I'm also wondering if it's possible to find a part-time pharmacy job - not full time. I know it's hard, but you need the money.

As for telling people (other than your pdoc, and UI) that you lost your job and why - you don't have to give a 'why' - not their business. If you're pressed, just say you had health issues and because you couldn't do the hours, they let you go.

My current job is the 3rd job I had since 2001, so understand.

Right now, take care of yourself - take your meds, and talk to your pdoc at the appt. Hopefully, he can help you.

BTW, I SI too, but I haven't done it in a while because the thought of having to explain the scars to people was worse than the urge to hurt myself. They'd see the scars when I wear short sleeves during the summer. I try to distract myself and go for support when the urge hits me.

You're in my thoughts and prayers. Please keep me posted. huggles
