My name is Jermaine Jackson and I've been "disabled " for almost 10 years, well it will be 10 years December 11, 2018l. I'm ready, willing, and very able to get back in the workforce. I don't know where to begin. If anyone has any suggestions, please chat with me.

I've been to three interviews in Kentucky and I explained to the managers I received disability prior. Indiana is nice and willing to work with people with disabilities and hire them (I had three jobs there prior), one with subway at 17 and an employee picked on me saying I broke a register when I never worked register and a supermarket at 16 which I worked the longest for a few months doing carts, bagging, stocking and carrying groceries to people's cars. I also did housekeeping recently and my manager was really nice. I miss my job at Hampton Hilton and the manager knew the situation and wasn't judgmental at all knowing I got a disability check. I wanted to keep my job but there was circumstances where I had to move and quit for living conditions. What would be your advice of how to deal with being cut off from disability and being discriminated against for mental health issue and looking for a job in Kentucky? The managers can tell I'm anxious and have issues but one looked at me like she wouldnt give me a chance because of it and I've also been through trauma and have PTSD along with depression and anxiety... how would you say I should deal with this when I just want a chance like everyone else without feeling discouraged and sad over the judgement and my honesty toward managers...Thank you for your advice.

In December of last year I was put on medical leave. My boss kept my last paycheck refused to sign my medical disability pay papers til this day n states I quit but I'm still out on medical need help

Workers comp board wants me to apply to new jobs. About 5 a day. However there are not that many postings in my area that allow my restrictions. This is getting frustrating. I need to find somthing I can sit down doing due to my knee not working properly. They are going to suspend my payments now because there is nothing local that I can meet the requirements of. I just want to feel better get a job and put this past me. I'm TOO young for this crap. -rebekah

I did not quite my job . I was injured had to have major surgery on my back . I was fired from my job . I will never be able to return to the physical working career I have been in for 32 years. I’m willing to work . I have been looking for 3 months. No one has called me due to the work restrictions I have with my disability. What do I do to find a job that pays the salaries I’m accustomed to?

My husband's part-time job had a mystery shopper report. The company said that it is an automatic write up if it's bad and everyone gets written up. One item they put on the write up was him not smiling. He had two strokes and it is no longer an automatic function on him. Can they write people up based on a mystery shopper who is subjective? Can they include him not smiling as one reason? He had to relearn to walk normal and write after the second stroke! Also, he was told he can't sit for a few minutes to eat when his sugar is low and he's a diabetic.

I tried to strike up a conversation about 2 weeks ago regarding mental illness and job searching, interviewing, and keeping a job as well as other factors that are affected by mental illness. I for one am bipolar and I suffer from PTSD. I know I can’t be the only person struggling with mental illness. Of course I can’t force you to open up and talk about things but I do think it can benefit us.

It was brought to my attention by a friend/mentor that you’re able to be more truthful with yourself when you’re able to see things from a different perspective.

I’ve been searching for positions I used to hold before my mental illness started becoming more dominant in my life.

I also get terrified when I go to an interview. I wonder what’s the room going to look like, will I do well or mess up? Will there be a sound in the office or area where the interview is held that will trigger my PTSD?

I worry if I can stay focused enough to keep the job. Can I put everything in the backseat while I work?

All of these are questions I’m not sure of yet. I’m looking and working with my therapist on finding some tools to help, should it become a burden at work.

I sincerely hope you will share if this pertains to you. Even if it doesn’t and you have a suggestion, please feel free to leave a comment.

I hope we can help each other out.

I'm on Disability and need to try and make a little more, if I can. By working from home on my computer.
