Anyone else have a history of multiple jobs due to mental health issues?

How do you cope with that fact?

@DeeeSchmeee68 I am sorry you feel a challenge from having done multiple jobs.

For me it was a process of finding what I was good at. Jobs that I had no natural ability I did not last long. One reason I had trouble with so many jobs was it took me a long time to learn how to eat the foods that would give me energy and be able to focus the mind. I needed protein either vegetable or animal and I needed to find food that would make a good lunch. Fruit did not give me the energy I needed to make it through the day.

I also needed to learn not to react to other people's tantrums,. insults and other unsolicited comments. If I could do that I could tolerate many working conditions.

I look back at my diverse job experience and feel I did the best I could. I try not to judge having multiple types of jobs as a negative. It helped me get to where I am today.

@DeeeSchmeee68 oh no that sounds something very rough to go through.

What coping mechanisms have you found to cope with CPTSD

[DeeeSchmeee68]

Right now I'm using distress tolerance, radical acceptance and some stoicism

Makes it easier to get disability if youve been fired from every job youve ever had. See every cloud has a silver lining. Right.

Yup. I've had like 10 jobs (only 27) none ever lasting more than six months some as short as two days before being fired. I'm on disability now and I try to make a little extra money writing and playing keys/guitar/harmonica (and other random stuff like dog walking and snow shoveling) but it does not amount to much seeing as I write like one book a year that makes around $50 (thanks Amazon for stealing all my money) and I haven't been able to really do anything else in a while due to health issues (physical and mental).

It's hard, but once you accept the fact that your "job" is to just do the best you can each day, and that that's going to look different each day, it gets easier.

I (unfortunately) have never really been fired.

I was hired on the spot! As a customer service representative for a furniture store.

Should I give my 2 weeks in person? Or email?
I feel like email is better because then there is a record

Of course you would give a resignation notice via email and not in person.
