Just Got Fired Today

[Bomichaels1972]

Came in this morning and HR called me into the office. They told me effective immediately I am terminated. Oh the joys of Bipolar, life, and this fallen world. Maranatha please. Maybe I am not capable of holding a job. At least I can collect unemployment for a while. Although it is pretty terrible here in AZ.

Please pray for me peeps. Thanks.

PS: tomorrow I go to my Psychiatrist. $150 out of pocket. That hurts.

Michael I'm new hew and learning how to use this website, but I'll pray for you. I use to live in Arizona and will pray that you find another job. Sometimes having a friend is helpful if you don't want to pay that much to a psychiatrist. Man, that's a lot!

 

[Bomichaels1972]

Not sure if you are Bipolar? A Psychiatrist works with your brain chemistry to get the right balance of meds. Without meds the illness will take over. Friends are good but can't prescribe meds?

Thanks for your prayers.

 

[Cliffrose]

No, but I'm working on perspective...was hoping to encourage...will pray.

I'm so sorry to hear about your termination. Did they tell you why?(you don't have to share this) I know where I live at they don't have to have a reason. Hopefully if there's a specific reason, they told so you can know how to improve your performance. What looks impossible with man is not impossible with God. I will also be praying for you that you find a new and better job.

Have you checked out your local Mental Health Services? Many provide sliding scale fees and will help you to secure medical benefits if you need them. Paying out of pocket is only going to get worse when they start prescribing meds. Some of these Mental Health meds are expensive. So now that you have a little time on your hands, you may want to see what's available to you if you haven't already. In the meantime know that God is the lifter of your head and He will supply all your needs.

I also like this little saying that goes something like this; when we can't see God's hand, we can always trust His heart.

Stay encouraged

Thank God I have a great wife and I am on her insurance. I don't know what I would do without her. Right now I am not mentally capable of sifting through government red tape and paperwork. She had to fill out most of my unemployment papers. I am still quite blessed and we do have food and shelter. Many people in the world dont even have a piece of bread to eat. I am a bit crippled by the depression right now. Trying to make small daily goals. I am afraid I become my own worst enemy. I need to change my bad attitude. Thanks for your kind words. Man, they mean a lot to me. Bless you!

I read your post and I see a true mark of a Christian person. It is always inspiring for the rest of us in the world with different problems when we see somebody being grateful amidst trouble, pain, injustice. I am glad you see all those blessings around you. I have been going through that mental numbness that you seem to describe. I could not help but to worry about all the issues I was facing and unknowingly I was making it worse for myself. I got so bad for me and it was so embarrassing that I could not even remember my phone number, the dates of employment from previous jobs, etc. I could not land a job and I was so frustrated but now I have to agree that I was actually not fit to perform certain jobs. It would have been very helpful for me to accept that I needed time off and a chance to put myself together. I was so worried that I failed to see something so simple-I needed to relax and not worry. I almost destroyed my marriage, and my relationship with my kids. I pray that you continue having Godly wisdom and that you continue being grateful for the beauty and love around you in life. I pray that your visits to the doctor are helpful and I pray that solutions come for your problems and I hope that your gratitude will always allow you to enjoy your beautiful family and any other blessing that God has provided to help you during the bad days in life. God bless

I'm so sorry you lost your job. There will be a better job for you. My sister lost her job and it took her awhile but then she got 3 job offers and took one of them.

I know how it feels . I got fired from my job because I was bipolar , and going to court does not always help . I to was in such a state that i could not handle court even if I wanted to . I will pray that you get better and will be able to go back to work . Give it time and leave it in God's hands and it will in His timeing work out .

I hope all things are going well for you and your family.

I did not know someone can be fired for mental illness. In Ohio believe that is the law. If you disclose your mental illness to your HR representative, they cannot fire you just because you have that illness.

That being said, I should probably do some work today.

Bomichaels, that happened to me over a 30 year period, I've been homeless between 3 to 5 times, and I have been in your shoes. You might want to take a trip down to Social security and see if a medical early retirement disability is possible. I have military and SSdisability- took 19 months for the Social Security and 8 for the military.

My God be with you my friend- I feel for you, I've walked several miles in your boots and they pinch- hard.
