I am a 29 yr old with Bipolar disorder II. I have been struggling for years. I am medicated, but I still have episodes of depression and mania. I have lost 2 jobs because of it. My most recent firm job, I went out for knee surgery and was told not to come back because I was "not a good fit". I had been there 2 years. I should have been told after 6 months if I was not a good fit----it was a cover up because they knew I suffered with my MH illness, and my ADHD. What I don't understand Is how a person who is college educated, cannot keep a job, or find another job, and lastly, be fired for something they cannot help. It doesn't make any sense to me. Im frustrated. I am up to my neck with frustration because of past due bills, medical expenses, and looking for work. My situation is very sad. I try my best everyday to get up and do better, but every time I try, I get knocked back down. I applied for Disability (supplemental income) but I was also told by the state that I probably wont qualify. My medical assistance application was tossed around 3-4 times because no one knows what they are doing. I applied for reasons only that I need medical care for my illness. Not to mention I also have scoliosis, and a left knee ACL injury. It is unfair, and very discouraging. It seems the government does not want to help people with mental health issues who really need it.
