Fired

I've posted in General that I've been fired from my job because of my symptoms of bp...that I can't be counted on anymore and I'm too much of a liability. I didn't get it in writing like I should have, but I was so screwed up in that moment, I couldn't think straight. Please help me out folks, as you are bp too, how have you been able to work out this problem and receive disability and perhaps take action against my former employer. I'm really screwed up in the head right now that I can't even begin to imagine what to do or how to go about doing it. I live in Florida and have no idea where to begin to get some help beside unemployment. That will last only so long and in the meantime I need to be taking action to get disability as this is proof that I can't hold down a job when cycling.

I would greatly appreciate any input you all could give me.

I feel for you. As I said in the other thread, I was in precisely the same situation a while back inasmuchas I got canned while I going through a really unstable time. I finally just found a job a few weeks ago but I am not sure how long I will be able to take it.

I can't help you with disablilty, I'm afraid. I'm sure there are many differences between Canada and the United States. I really wish I could. I wouldn't wish my last year on anybody.

I'm sorry, this is supposed to be about you, not me. I'm just trying to say that I hear you and wish I could be of help. I'll be thinking of you.

Okay, so Friday I'm totally wiggin' out over being fired from job of almost 3 years. It felt to me like the end of the world, which in a way is true, it is the end of my world as I knew it. My bf Marc is the first person I told on Friday evening. I was a mess emotionally, mentally and any other way possible. So, Saturday comes and goes and no word from Marc. I was hurt, I thought he was running away from the mental case I am because that's the reason I was fired. So Sunday comes and I still haven't heard from him. At about noon I got a phone call from him that he's been in a horrible car accident, flipped his Jeep trying to avoid the car in front of him who made a sudden stop, he overcorrected and caused the jeep to roll. He didn't hit the other car, but his Jeep is totaled. He's freakin' out about what's he gonna do, how is he gonna get around, um, hello!!!! I'm unemployed now and have a car!!! I'm gonna say what I've said to everyone else, the Lord certainly does work in mysterious ways. If anything, this incident will bring us closer as we will be more dependent on each other, but for different reasons. Isn't that what relationships are all about...balance, compromise, giving of ones self for the betterment of a significant other or anyone for that matter. Especially our friends. I have to develope some really important friendships here and I would lay down my life for each and every one of them.

So the moral of the story, don't assume the worst of someone until you know the full truth. No judgements. No jumping to conclusions that have no basis. And when someone is treating you different than you expected, especially under stressful circumstances...such as losing ones job...something worse could be happening to that very person that you love. I'm ashamed of myself for assuming the worst of him, that he had abandoned me in my hour of need, when the hour of need is actually his.

Hi kitty,
Did you get a chance to read the legal information I left for you on general? Glad to hear you're doing better. Cheshire Cat

Dude! Man, thanks so much for the 411. Very helpful. I've sent in my application for disability today, I know I'll be denied the first time, but if nothing else, I'm persistant. I really appreciate it. I know what my former boss did was wrong, so I'm going to consult with an attorney to see what they have to say about it. Your a very helpful puddy cat! TgrsPuurrrrrr, xo
