Hi Larynxa,A huge ‘Thank You’ for your reply. What you said was really useful. I do live in Canada and my boss is aware that I have a disability ( I also have dyslexia-mild ) .Dyslexia is a little more talked about and she could relate to that but did not seem to have any understanding of ADD. My work place is a little unusual in that the paperwork is not only report type work but throughout the day almost every movement I make is documented, it would be impossible for any other person to do that for me.

My position is ‘casual’ meaning that I fill in for sick time, vacation etc. There is always a lot of work but recently I have reduced my own hrs. until I manage to get a grasp of things regarding my ADD.I do not qualify for stress or sick leave due to my casual position.

It is very true that my exercising is also a form of self medicating, I have known that for ages but just did not know why . Also though I do have a passion for the outdoors so the two go hand in hand and make me happy .

I did look up the link for Charity Village and will keep my eye on their job listings, thank you so much .Also I have the prescription for concerta here next to me…….I am looking at it ……..it’s already been for a trip to the pharmacy with me but I brought it back home again!

I appreciate what you said about taking advantage of the help that medication could bring .I am going to take this prescription out with me again!!

I admire you very much for standing up to an unreasonable boss and for not giving up, that is difficult to do especially when you are already having a hard time with depression.I am glad it was resolved in your favour.

Thanks again for your reply.
