Fired from Job Because of OCD

That’s exactly how I feel and it’s exhausting. It consumes you in a way you can’t define. Again, I am sorry you are going through this, I feel you. Maybe best to have an open discussion with the HR on the two previous instances.

Thank you! Thank you very much!!!! So true! The less work I did, the more exhausted I was, because I didn't spend the extra time relaxing but doing compulsions. It does consume you to the point you feel like you've lost yourself and the whole of you just turned into the Ocd. And yet you're still trying to hide it from everyone else and hope they don't notice. They do, eventually. They notice you've changed. They just don't realize it's ocd underneath it all. Nobody says anything. But they sure are confused about you. I've seen the abbreviation HR above. Could you pls tell me who or what is HR? My OCD is now better to some extent since I've been on medication, serotonin. Since October 22. But the side effects are so strong that I just can't function the way I am supposed to and expected to in everyday life, and that's the reason I can't figure out how I'm going to be able to work if I get a job. I need money, but at the same time I am praying noone hires me until I somehow get my life back together. Imagine being in a relationship with someone like me?!

By the way, I am so sorry you know what I am talking about. I am so sorry you feel like that too. But at the same time, it makes the world of difference to know there is someone else out there who knows how you feel. Before finding the NOCD's community I thought nobody would ever understand. Thanks for replying.

I'd love to know this bc I'm struggling at the moment wi t h the number of sick days i've taken. I'm trying to find a physiatrist to help with my reasonable accommodation paperwork but it's hard.

Why did you get fired?

Written up for what reason if you don't mind me asking

I did not get fired, but I lost a lot of clients bc of ocd. I needed the money, but I couldn't take it from them because they were somehow triggering my ocd. I just looked for excuses for not wanting to be in business relationship with them anymore. I didn't tell them the truth, I just gave stupid excuses. (like not having enough time,...). I would break up a whole group of clients because I was scared of one of them. So not only loosing one client's payment for the course they wanted to attend, I lost the payment from 6-9 other members in the group. I had to close my company eventually. I wasn't able to function. I would spend more time on compulsions than on the actual work. I was so tired all the time. Now I am looking for a new job, but honestly I am not sure if I am capable of doing any.
