You should try being a little more nice with the way you are acting you just might not get what it is you want. A little more info might get you the help you need as well. Maria
Just a quick note regarding your termination on Friday------NOT OK...You are covered under the ADA...Adults with Disabilities Act....Your employer cannot fire you for things related to your ADHD or Depression...it is the same as being fired from your job because you are missing limbs...or have some other disability....talk to Dr...you can get your job back, and your employer has to make any "reasonable accomodations" for you that help you get your work done..Also, are you seeing a therapist or councelling...anything?? Meds are only a piece of the puzzle ....hang in there...let me know what happens.
I was fired on friday..and interestingly enough only a few hours after talking to my manager about my adhd and my new medication.I wonder now if thats the reason, along with my mood swings
I know I wasnt the best worker..I still tried to get the work done..but its impossible when u are depressed AND have adhd.
Yeah and the rest of it.
If its stimulant medication. Dont go too heavy on its use.
I was on ten a day and now im paying for it with bad withdrawl.
Keep it at a level that does not change your sleep ability.
Might help ya.

10 a day of what?BUGGER! - I would consult the authorities regarding where you stand with regards to discrimination.thats what im thinking...Im going to talk to my dr today about it..shes a wonderful advocate of ppl w/ adhd and has a vast knowledge of everything that has anything to do with adhd.her children have it..so shes "up" on the latest and the greatest.
I know most of the reason I was fired was because i was so moody and depressed, but i TRIED.They knew when they hired me that I had adhd.That I wasnt a "cheerleader" type of smiley person.
I think my boss just got sick of me. He hid up in his office while my manager WATCHED me like a hawk pack my things up.I felt like she thougth I would do somehitng..like get violent or somehitng..iut just felt horrible. Do they realize how that makes someone feel?
rainct38383.2355324074Yeah. I meant to add in "10 a day of Dexamphetamine."
ahh..okay
How many times did they write you up for stuff if any? If they have not written you up for anything and gave no warning then you may just have a good case and win. MariaThey never wrote me up..my manager talked to me..but said I was improving.
Then I would do something about it you have a good case of discrimanation at the job. You could get a lawyer that don't get paid unless you win your case. I would check into it see what they can do for you. Mariathanx maria. I'll give it some thought.
I appreciate your advice
Hi. I know what you mean. I went for a very high job - Pacific Manager - through Morgan and Banks. When they found out I had ADHD they sent me away. It is tough getting a job. I recently started my own business but am having problems with the books. The creative/marketing/advertising stuff is easy but the books are like a nightmare.I live in Australia. ADHD is not recognised in Adults. You do not mention it to ANYONE. You just go for it the best way you can. It is a hard call
I was diagnosed by 2 doctors. They both said that my IQ was very high and this was typical of ADHD. Many ideas and thinking out of the square. Has anyone else experienced this?Oh by the way my email is - info@basketcase.com.auHi Moonbeams, I know what you mean about those "higher up jobs". I went to school for one, aced all my classes, graduated w/honors than got fired from every job in the field (medical office). You just know your a gonner when at the end of the day, your boss says"may I have a word with you" FIRED!
I have a high IQ and I am also creative. Many yrs. ago, I was an airbrush artist. Perfect job b/c I diden't have to deal with alot of pple. But we live to close to many tourist beaches and everyone seems to do airbrush.
OK, after having so many jobs I can't even remember, I am now starting my OWN house cleaning bussiness. I have cleaned houses before, know how to clean and have been told what a good job I do. Of course I can't expect everyone to be pleased(some no one can), but once I really get into it, it should be steady work and great pay. As a matter of fact, thats why I'm posting so late. I was making up my bussiness cards! Not clamerous or creative, but hey, it will pay the bills!
My dr offered to help, but I just decided not to pursue anything legl.I know its not good to do thta because then it allows discrimination to go on..but truthfully,I cant deal wioth all of that right now.my life is too hectic and im just starting to put the peices together
Can you slow down?.................................. with a meditation tape? .................... just breath slowly......................and then...............talk to meYeah, ADHD is a disability. you may be able to sue them on the grounds of discrimination. It was very odd that they did not previously write you up, in order to try to "justify" firing you. Have you looked into possible recourse?[QUOTE=numb]I'm f**king going grazy.

Numb - I have got like that - found myself on the floor in the shower once just like that - just wished i had the energy to get up call an ambulance and cart me off to the loony ward.
But after many hours of crying in the cold shower as the hot had run out I finally pulled it together enough to climb into bed, feel sorry for myself until i fell asleep.
Then there was the long slow healing process to getting better.
But I got there!!!!
Stay positive, nothing stays the same - you can ALWAYS count on change.
