I'm sorry. I got fired from 2 jobs in 10 months and it was not pleasant. The first one they could have fired me for being behind on paperwork and not writing orders in charts on time but instead they kind of chose to torture me and created reasons to fire me. The worst was that they went to one of my patients I was close to and asked her a bunch of questions about me that kept making me sound bad and she'd tell them no, that's NOT what she meant, her husband would back her up and say they loved me, I was greatl, etc. I was told she didn't want me to treat her anymore. So I avoided her one day but she came in and found me to tell me what happened and how upset she was about it. She had written a letter and put on the office door but it disappeared before I ever saw it. Manipulating my patients like that was the most awful thing ever. They also got me for shredding something b/c my supervisor told me to (she didn't get in trouble) and for signing a timesheet with an error (I'm fairly sure it was falsified and left on my desk for me to sign like I'd forgottten to do it the night before.

The next job refused to say why but had a long history of wanting me to do in 32 hours what my PT counter-part did in 40 hours, backing out of agreements about modified start times because I drove a long way and some other things. They had a long history of firing experienced people and replacing them with new graduates though and I was replaced by a new grad so I think that one was only partly bipolar and partly money-saving.

I also had one time that I was working as a contract therapist in 2 nursing homes that were part of a chain. I had been on disability for a few weeks and had been in the ER one night b/c of a reaction to abilify. My assistant turned that information into I was in the psych until for 4 weeks and told everyone I was psychotic. At that point a lot of bad things happened in one nursing home, mostly because the director of nursing kept saying "what does she know? she's crazy" about any suggestion that came from me. It got very ugly so my company moved me out of that building. The next day I was kicked out of the other building because "we don't like her". It later came out that because I had some oral motor issues with geodon and a flat affect a rumor started that I was on drugs. No assurances that I was on medication that had since been stopped due to severe side effects that people had noticed and offers of random drug tests at will mattered. About a year later I found out that they "regretted" what they did to me. Kind of late for that.....I was transferred to another facility and given a raise and later that year a huge 2nd raise, I think for not suing them.

I worked 9 years and had 7 jobs. There were only 3 that people were sad to see me leave and one of those management was glad to be rid of me because I'd been on disability for 4 months and it wasn't very convenient for them.

So I know a little bit about it and it just is so hard to feel like things are great and then be told they aren't.

One thing I did that you may want to try is vocational rehab. In my state it is called Rehabiltation Services commission. They help you find either a job that you can succeed in with modifications they help set up or modifications that will help you succeed in the kind of job you have had. They provide training and equipment at no cost to you. You can self-refer. It takes a while to get into the program but they have lots to offer. For me it came down to being recommended that I go on disability but nobody else agreed with that. however that did probably help me get approved for SSDI when I needed to be, years later.

I'm sorry you're dealing with this. I know how hard it was for me. I felt like I gave 150% and did a good job but there were always things I wasn't as good at that caught up to me even when it wasn't fair.
