  1. 1

    I was recently let go from my position at a drug testing lab where I worked for two and a half years. Unfortunately, my health issues have been a constant struggle, causing me to miss work occasionally, despite always notifying my employer and providing doctor's notes. I was diagnosed with Bipolar 2 and Endometriosis, which has led to two surgeries and a miscarriage that required hospitalization. After returning from a paid leave, I was placed on probation, and just yesterday, I was informed that my position was terminated. Now, I'm feeling lost and overwhelmed, especially with the job market being so tough. I don't have a degree, and I'm concerned about my ability to find a role that aligns with my passions. I'm reaching out for advice from anyone who has faced similar challenges, particularly those who have navigated job searches while dealing with mental and physical health issues. Is it possible to find a job where I can truly thrive? I would appreciate any tips or insights you might have. On the financial side, I've set up unemployment benefits and food stamps, so I'm okay for now, but I need guidance on the next steps.
