Getting over a bad experience

I'm still working on that one myself, even though it's been nearly six months since I was kicked to the curb. I was the sacrificial lamb, so to speak, because I was fighting severe stress that was contributing to an exacerbation of my mental illness, and it made it all but impossible for me to do my job. Plus they kept changing the rules and the expectations, and that made things even more difficultt. So instead of helping me they sent in a corporate nurse who told me that I'd be fired if we didn't pass our state re-survey.

I never even made it to that point......I had to go on medical leave, and while I was out, they figured out a way around the Americans with Disabilities Act and terminated me the same week I came back. They decided they "couldn't" grant me the reasonable accommodations for my disability that my psychiatrist had recommended, and that was it. I could have fought it, but I was too exhausted and felt so beaten down that I just didn't have the energy to go after them.

Long story short, I'm almost past it, but still have some anger toward my former employer. I think it's almost a PTSD thing; losing a job like this is traumatic, and you have to work at getting that negative energy out of your system. Therapy, and medication if you need it, are also helpful in recovering from this sort of thing if you can't get past it on your own. Two months isn't a very long time; be gentle with yourself and eventually you'll be able to move on.
