My Pdoc put me on disability in 2018, (here your Pdoc applies and younger it, you don't need lawyers) so haven't worked since then. It's an annual temporary arrangement so will be reviewed again in October...

Before that I thrived in administrative type jobs, not just because the hours were stable (working shifts landed me IP) but because I genuinely like organising everything and making sure things are running smoothly.

For now I am volunteering for an NGO which my sister is a member of, so I am not only an active volunteer but also helping out with their admin and I charge them a small fee for it because it's nothing hectic.

I am currently looking into working from home, as I can't stand being unemployed. Not only does my personality not allow for me to be perpetually broke, but I get so bored I feel my IQ points dropping [emoji33][emoji28]

If it wasn't for my brother discussing his Quantum Computing course with me I'd be a vegetable by now. Hehe

I lost my last job after showing up to work in a tiara and subsequently firing my boss.
Bwahahaaaaa

He told me "Ophelia, you're manic as all eff, I think you need a week off"

I was so out of it I declined his offer and quit instead.

The mania was triggered by high amounts of stress and being completely overwhelmed by my job and my life (mom with breast cancer and dementia)...

So Pdoc said it was time for me to take a break from the work force.

Hopefully I will be able to freelance doing transcription, as I feel working my own hours will do me the world of good, and pdoc agrees.
Also I can't stand the thought of working front office again (too much pressure to look and behave perfectly allllll day when I'm depressed, I and can't find a back office job for some unknown reason)
