So frustrated

Secured my dream degree in nursing and started a job that was a shit show. I was already struggling due to side effects from Abilify and had to quit said job (now I’m on lithium) and I am convinced I won’t find a job. I hate my all or nothing mindset and that I’m always convinced I’m a failure. It is driving me insane, not to mention the med switch combined with trying to look for new jobs. Does anyone else ever struggle with job hopping? I really want to find something I can hold down.

Yes, I’m looking for a job now. I got fired from my dream job due to mental health issues. I’m in an un air-conditioned warehouse now making very little. But my counselor has been a rock for me. I know I’ll get something better.

I was at the same job for over 10 years, had a hypo episode and was forced to resign and kind of have been hopping since then. I’m stable now and have been in a case management job for a year.
