I know how it is, the longest time I've held a job is about 2 years and the shortest is one day. I've had 20+ jobs in the last 30 years. Most of the time, I quit before they could fire me. My ability to "catch on" at a job has deteriorated in the last 8 years and after getting fired from my last job because of that reason has made me wary of getting another. It makes me feel quite stupid even though I have a college degree. I've even gotten fired from crappy jobs! My miles long resume has made many employers wary of me. I find it very hard to explain that. I have never been able to handle pressure and expectations of the job very well and it has gotten even worse over the years. I have never and won't ever tell any employer about the bipolar and ADD and would never ask for special accommodations. My brain is foggy most of the time, have short term memory problems and I'm very slow to respond to questions and requests. What employer would put up with that? And yes I am on meds. It's just so very frustrating....
Sorry for the long post.
