Re: A reason for not working

[Guest guest]

Unfortunately, I found my error rate increasing as time went by on the

medications. I couldn't not take them, and I eventually couldn't stop

the errors from occurring, no matter how hard I tried. And while my work

was supportive, I did have to get work done and what I was turning out

was so full of errors that others eventually had to redo my work. At

that point, I knew it was time to leave work. Until this started

happening, I was an excellent employee (that was the rating I got on all

my reviews). My work depended upon my accurracy and my memory, and I

could no longer provide that.. Plus, I had a hard time staying awake at

my desk. I'm at home now and I still need several naps a day just to get

by. I know I have a tendency to fall asleep while reading, which never

used to happen.

Hopefully it will be a long while before you have to give up working. I

know I miss my work terribly.

Laurie,

Sadly, one learns that the perfection and precisiveness that one

strives for is much harder to achieve when their mental acuity is

clouded with medications, sickness or stress. Any one of the

three is enough to hinder your work precision, yet all three would

make accuracy a complex challenge.

Your analysis that this is part of dealing with the condition was

right on target. Yet it is not enough reason to give up trying,

right? It just means we have to work harder. So keep trying and

have all those backups handy.

We understand, and more importantly, I hope your employer's

will, also.

With hope and prayers,

check lists and backups that I thought covered almost every

potential problem didn't prevent.

> so is this an effect of the meds, not feeling well, or the

pressure of dealing with the Dr whoisleaving? With any of these,

it all comes down to the common factor: Dealing with this

condition.
