Hi I have ADHD, OCD,Bipolar and manic depprision I was doing really good then things started to go wrong my moods are everywhere and I have a lot of energy I was working but lost my job on Monday due to clashes with other staff and my mood swings I was advised to resign so they didn't have to fire me. I am 39 and I thought I was doing good obviously I wasn't I have full support from my family I live alone with my dog. I am trying to stay positive but I am not doing well to be honest. Not sure what to do I have lost all motivation and feel I have let myself and my family down

Hi there Sparrow

Welcome to Beyond Blue and thank you so much for coming here and providing your post.

I’m really sorry to hear that you have just recently lost your job – but it does concern me as to why?? They advised you to resign, otherwise they were going to fire you! Under what circumstances were they going to fire you?? To me, this does not sound fair at all.

It is very pleasing though to hear that you have great family support – and that you have a dog. Dogs are just so great, loyal, loving and they are always so pleased to see you. I think all pets are great, but I have a particular soft spot for dogs.

Ok, so you’ve mentioned that you suffer from a number of conditions. I’m imagining that you have been officially diagnosed with these? My next question is: are you on any medication(s) and are you receiving any kind of professional counselling?

Would really like to hear back from you as soon as you’re able to write back.

Kind regards

Neil

Hi I resigned because of my mood swings and I was clashing with some staff members and getting bullied I couldn't take it anymore. I also got accused of being rough with the children wich I wasn't .

I am seeing a psychiatrist and a psychologist .

I have been on medication for about three years

i still have a load of energy and get depressed easily I have been known to self harm to cope I try staying positive but me losing my job has set me back .

dear Sparrow, thanks for coming to the site.

I am pleased that Neil, my friend, has replied back to you, because some posts just slip through the cracks which should never happen, and I realise that it's been 5 days, but pleased you have replied back to him.

I fear that by chipping in may take the lime-light off the discussion between you and Neil, and I apologise for this.

I can only say how sorry I am for you, because you have a whack of illness's, and I really mean this in a serious way, because ADHD and OCD are two powerful psychological disorders, as by having one is bad enough.

I know that the right medication can control ADHD but with regards to OCD I have my doubts.

It does sound as though you were coerced into resigning which is called bullying, so is this how you feel it was done. Geoff.
