Hi friends, this year I was terminated for unsatisfactory performance that was the result of unmanaged anx/dep. I’m medicated, counseled, and at a new firm, but concerned about my future. Any tips?

Know that a company that truly cares for you will stick with you! Stay positive, and know that even your own colleagues face the same issues as you, regardless if they have a smile on or not! :) i suffer the same symptoms, and while it’s not easy, i try to stay positive. You can do it!!!!

Just make sure to keep taking meds until doc says you don't need them and get the counseling. You need to be honest with yourself and not phase off meds too soon. My sister is bipolar and was showing really good improvement in all areas of life. She kept pushing for doc to reduce meds as a result of her improvement and once it got too low, she just dropped it all and lost her job and has been struggling to get back to normal

Any advice is helpful :)
