I suffer from extreme insomnia about 60% of my nights leading to upwards of 50 or more hours with no sleep. Im working on getting a medical card but insomnia isn't a listed reason to have it in my state so I have to appeal for it and it's taking a long time.
My job I was at suffers from an employee number issue and I happen to be the only one who would actually show up cause everyone else was worthless. I ended up leaving because the overtime and stress was brutalizing my home life so I contacted my old work (who everyone in the office smokes) and they made me go piss test at a fed med office. Tried to fake it with clean piss. Failed. Went to a temp agency to supplement my pay for a lower paying job I took instead. They piss tested me, I told them I'd fail and took it anyway. Refused to hire me on even though they themselves suffered from an employment issue.
I have an associates degree, every job I've worked I put my best in and every previous boss adored me (EVEN the ones I left with no notice) and I explained that what I choose to do on my personal time didn't reflect my work ethic. Denied anyway.
When I first saw this page I thought it was BS, but I'm starting to realize how broken our work force is and I don't wanna be a part of it anymore. Guess I just plug away at a shitty KFC job 40 hours a week to cover my rent.
