An Update since my last post!

[aflower4God]

Hi there Friends. First I want to appologize for being off line for sometime now. I am glad to be back visiting with you all. You all have really uplifted me a lot! Since my last visit I have been seeking help even more. I have increased my medication dosage. I have become more "numb" to the situation at work. I have said things about the nastiness to my manager (who is not located at my office). Anyway, a problem has surfaced. Well due to the mistakes that i have been making at work due to my learning disability (dyslexia). I desided to do what Christ would want me to do, to be honest. So I told my manager that I have dyselixa and I had paperwork to show in detail about my disorder. To make a long story short I had to call the HR, who is located in another area, and tell her about the letter that explains in detail about my learning disorder. I did ask if I would still have a job at my company, and the responce that I got was it all depends on what that letter says, what the needs are for me and my disability. Folks, I tell ya, it is like one thing after another thrown in my face. But there is nothing I can do. Oh if you are curious, my parents have not called since my last post. This is not the first time they estranged me.
It is hard, I am down about this...so down I just dont want ot go to work tomorrow. I dread what is ahead of me, when they get the letter.

Thanks for listening and God bless you all!

I am so glad to hear you are feeling better! I was worried about you, kiddo...

Telling an employer about a disability is no fun, I tell you...letting my boss, a rather difficult individual to begin with, about my OCD, was brutal. The boss did *not* really get it, did not treat me so great afterwards, and even asked me whether I was "safe around the customers". I only had to tell this person because I'd needed a full month of medical leave to deal with it at the time, and, unfortunately, had some explaining to do about my specific reason.

It's not easy to do; and, in my case, I may or may not last there much longer (more than a *year* after all this went down). In the meantime, I am looking elsewhere.

You did the right thing by your honesty, though, and, ultimately, did yourself a favor. You can't cover up a disabling condition on the job without serious unnecessary stress, triggers and compounded problems.

Good luck in all you do, and God bless!

Good to hear,

God loves humility, so hopefully something can be worked out.

Just my opinion, so take it for what it is worth. I know you lean on your parents alot for support, but let them go for a while. Learn to lean on the Lord rather than your parents. It was pretty obvious that they are slaves to their sins and just doing more damage to your self esteem and faith.

Have you had any luck getting a counsellor or getting some help from your church? If not, give them a try.

Just remember what God shared with me. We are all gifted and talented. I found my walk with the lord and gaining more reign over my syntoms went hand in hand. Remember that the sun is always shining bright, even when the gloomy clouds get in the way. Lord is always with you.

Hi there sister.

I wanted to say to you I totally know how you feel because I am battling OCD myself. I am a bit better I must say, but let me tell ya I totally have my OCD moments. I think what you are going through at your job is awful, and I will pray for you to get a better job as well. God bless you and if you need to talk about your OCD please PM me!
