But I don't really wish to talk about that issue in this thread. It's upsetting me more, and I feel I am really stuck between a rock and hard place because I was let go and didn't achieve much in that job - or have nothing to show for the work that I did complete.

You achieved finding content (all those articles you did) for XYZ clients and XYZ topics. You found some speedy creative ways to do those, as I recall. You created presentations, maybe they weren’t perfect but not like you didn’t do them, they were acceptable. You did a good job in a support role and that’s what you should highlight. You were on that job for a year, do they really expect major achievement in less than a year?
There has to be a way to word it to show case performance in those areas you did well. It’s not a lie to say you achieved a blah blah blah in those areas. If you have many years of successful performance, why must you focus on one year of maybe not as positive work experience. It’s almost like you have to find the way to present things in a positive light.
Also if you want to twist something, it could maybe be on the resume that isn’t public knowledge. Everyone can see everything on LinkedIn even if they don’t have an account (someone else sees it and takes a screen shot and trust me people do it). I know you said it’s upsetting but we want to help you to find creative ways to present yourself positively without out right lying. You can do it.
When you get a job, a job you can do well, everything will fall into place including personal life
