Struggling through.....

I've had some bumps in the road in life lately and I know I'll make it through but could use some support. A couple of years ago I developed fibromyalgia and ended up losing my job because of it. I started another job that was not at all what was promised; my manager quit, then our driver, then they let me go - they started downsizing without warning, etc. I moved on to an incredibly promising job but on my first business trip I was assaulted by someone I did not know - when I returned the company let me go, claiming I violated one of their policies, which I know was wrong. I'm going through counseling, job searching and trying to make myself whole again. I know God has a path, it's just a tough one right now.

Just remember "no amount of regret will change the past", that being said, it's time to move forward. You have to ask yourself the question "do you want to quit"? If the answer is yes, you go on disability for fibromyalgia, if the answer is no, you battle on. Everything happens for a reason, even though sometimes things don't make sense at the time. I never question God, but sometimes I wish I could just understand the final outcome. Unfortunately, that would spoil the joy of life. So you have to embrace the future, and get ready for the new challenges. The things that have happened jobwise are behind you, so forget them, and get back to work. Good Luck to you...

That is so hard when something unjust happens - you cant' fix it and you get further damage from the bosses. If you are into it .. try Matt Khan on youtube... He's been very helpful to me.

Stay strong. That assault was not your fault and the company wanted someone to blame ,but you can file a lawsuit against that company .

That could be so but why so tough, like my pastor explained to me to get you closer to him (God) Never ever stop believing and have Faith you're goung to make it thru and you will. If you lost faith you had better regain it back your life needs you. God bless you.

I don't know too much about your situation with fibromyalgia but have you tried to apply it as a disability? Check this site: http://www.healthline.com/health/fibromyalgia/fibromyalgia-disability#Overview1. If you are approved then you can apply for jobs under this site: http://www.disabilityjobexchange.com/ and see what you apply for.

OMG! I'm sorry to hear that. My best friend has fibromyalgia, and she tells me about her constant struggles with it. Can you talk to an attorney about being wrongfully terminated?
