Dear user1138,
Thank you for reaching out to us and sharing a little about yourself and your struggles with jobs. It must have taken a lot of courage to share your innermost thoughts and diagnoses with us. You also seem to possess a good deal of self-awareness and insight into your situation. These are wonderful and commendable strengths!
Correct me if I am wrong, it sounds like you have been trying to figure out some issues which you have been grappling with in terms of cognitive processes? And you feel that this might have impacted your performance at work? It would help if you could share more with us what you mean by your cognition being “messed up” and what has happened that makes you feel that it shouldn’t be messed up now.
Struggling with a sleep disorder, an anxiety disorder and depression all at once may sometimes be overwhelming for a person. I wonder if you have sought professional care for these conditions? If you are interested, there are some online support communities and resources where you can find understanding and some advice.
