my avoidance technique isn't going to work...I will go in tomorrow morning or afternoon. Going to try to get through again today though.
My dad used to tell me "showing up is half the battle" I have to think he knew me better than I knew myself, I miss him terribly when I'm struggling like this....

Putting together a business plan for a low profile home based food business, within the year.

Update:let go yesterday.
I couldn't keep up, I kept bugging out and messing up.
They were decent about it, for which I am grateful, my manager wished me success.
When the owner was talking to me she said that it's like you're not even here. I attempted to tell her that I was struggling with ptsd, she asked if I was military, when I said I was not, she turned away and reiterated that she had to let me go. I am not so crushed as the last time, but still worried how I will find work that I can be successful at.
So back to it, taking my time at it, looking for a good fit.

I hope that you find more understanding

@Saelben
Thank you so much, I will find something, some way to support us. If I have to carve a job out of nothingness, I will..

@Chimera (((hugs))) Temp agencies may be a quick fix as you job search. As well when I was scraping inbetween I went to the restaurants as they hire quickly most of the time (for good reason, eh?) Best of wishes to your search.

 

[Chimera]

Thanks @Recovery4Me I will look into temp agencies, it's a good idea. Restaurant work might not fit right now, but I'm open and really wanting to work. I appreciate your supporr. ♡

Go straight to the people who hired you, the top folks and tell them you have PTSD. Tell them what happened, how you felt, how this impacts your life differently than another person who gets fired. There is a Yiddish phrase called giving someone "the greesha" (phonetic spelling my bad), which means giving them the problem. They will be terrified you will sue, particularly if you have a medical history you can draw on that shows you have our disease. But it's not about suing, it's about transparency. Honor yourself to stand up for what is right. Your circumstances are different due to PTSD. In fact, they should be proud that (up until they fired you) a disabled person successfully worked in their kitchens. Please understand I am kind of a shark business person so if your soul and head and psyche can't deal with this, I send you many hugs and never think you are a horrible person. We have a sickness, that's it. I say stand up for yourself, if you can.
