I really identified with your post. I have had like 7 different jobs in the last TWO YEARS because I have chronic absenteeism. My depression, anxiety, and BPD now makes me miss so many days. I have no FMLA or anything as I never work long enough for a company. They try to hang on to me as long as possible because when I work, I do good work. But they would rather have a mediocre worker who shows up everyday than a good worker who has bad attendance.
No matter how many times I fall, I stand up again, brush myself off and do it again. My parents often tell me that since I can't handle it, I should just not try for the moment. But I have no money and my parents really don't have money so I have to keep trying. I just hope that everytime I've learned something from the previous experience that will help me have better success in the future.
Thanks for this!
