A job of work

Went to bed at 1.30am and woke up at 7am. I don't remember waking up during the night, which is fantastic. The higher dose of medication feels very strong and leaves me feeling groggy. Perhaps that's why I slept so soundly. Of course my mind has been working overtime since I woke up, but what I'm trying to do now is to sift and organise the thoughts and use them for my blogs. Last week was a bit of a watershed when I was so overwhelmed with depression. A few thoughtful and constructive words from two dear friends made me sit back and think, and this has helped me to cope better.
Having been made redundant after twelve years service in a horrible job, I want to talk about my work history. The pattern is very common for people with aspergers. I'd take jobs which were well below my ability, because I lacked the confidence to aim higher. I'd stay for a year or two then hand in my notice, because I couldn't cope with the people at work. The people at work always found me odd. I'd then be out of work for an extended period suffering from depression. And then the pattern would repeat. Once I went to Japan and once to Spain, because I found it so hard to cope. With hindsight, how could I hope to survive abroad if I couldn't do it at home? I stuck my last job for so long out of sheer bloody-mindedness. I was so good at it I became team leader then manager.
I do want to work, but my applications haven't been successful yet. To try and overcome this I've been in touch with someone I know at a local college, and she has kindly said she will help me try and get a job. I am so grateful. Please wish me luck guys.
