DID & Employment

Johnny-Jack, you pretty much just wrote my life. X

I also was very depressed/suicidal in March and April, and as rough as things seem right now, I NEVER want to go back there. It was aweful.

TRIGGER WARNING TALK OF SUICIDAL THOUGHTS

At one point I was walking circles in my neighborhood at like midnight because I was afraid that if I went inside the house I would snap and do that. At one point I had my phone and a crisis call center card in one hand and a pair of scissors in the other. I finally snapped out of it when I sent a long email to the person who had (unknowingly)triggered me, and just let them know what I was going through, and why their words had upset me so much.

END TRIGGEr

I really hope things get better for you. After finding a job with less stress, and taking this semester off from school, my overall mood has improved. I am just living, letting life come as it comes, no long term goals or dreams right now(don't know if that's good or not lol) except to get completely "better". Hugs if you want them...

Erm...I'm struggling with this myself, actually! I really need a job, but my physical disabilities preclude getting anything where I have to stand or walk for any real period of time, and my anxiety/PTSD/DID-symptoms make it difficult for anything involving phones all day or super with people. D'you know how much that takes out? Especially here?

I got through school ok, but I was switching all over the place, and sometimes littles were co-con with me for tests, which made my answers very interesting...

And I have almost blurted out the wrong name in public. Haven't actually said it out loud yet.

But I wish you luck and I understand the struggle, it is really difficult these days to find a job, much less when you're struggling with DID at the same time.
