    I called their number and it just says that if you don't certify your unemployment it will drop off. That's what I'll do.

    ive noticed alot of ppl have been using things like ADHD and depression to get disability here in canada.. it sickens me...
    Don't tar everyone with the same brush. These are mental disorders that manifest different symptoms and severity from person to person. Suicide is one of the biggest 'killers' of young men in the UK, and a lot of studies have suggested this is because young men aren't willing to talk about their problems. Understandable if the potential reactions include "you sicken me".

    There are a lot of leaches in the world, but leaches will use any reason they can. To say;
    ADHD cant even remotely be a reason... guess what.. i "have" it...
    Is entirely unfair; ADHD is not well understood, and there are a lot of misdiagnoses. ADHD does not mean that you are hyper, although that is a common misconception; the 'hyperactivity' in the name refers to hyperactive parts of the brain that prevent a person from retaining focus. It's entirely reasonable that someone with severe ADHD would find it extremely difficult to work, so it can be a reason. You cannot hold yourself as an example, as you may have mild symptoms, or maybe you only manifest the 'hyperactive' symptoms, and not the 'inattentive' symptoms.

    It's very, very easy to pigeon-hole people like this, but it's not fair to them. A lot of people think mental disorders aren't 'real problems', especially depression and ADHD, because tens of thousands of people think that depression is the same as feeling bad after you get dumped, or that ADHD means you were a hyper child. There's a lot more to it than that.

    Amen to what Dave said. I'm living with 2 bipolar people and have seen first hand what these mental disorders can do.

    I understand that one. My ex was bipolar. He decided to stop medicating and then he got drunk. I won't elaborate, but I will say the results were beyond unpleasant.

    I can see where you're going with that, but the only input I have to say is that not all bipolars are like that, there are always different circumstances, but that's more the person themselves, not really their condition.

    You're right. It does vary from person to person. I just wanted to illustrate the point that sometimes a mental illness can be worse than other times. It was partially him, but a part of who he was involved having bipolar disorder. I never meant to imply that all people with bipolar disorder are like he was, and I apologize if it sounded like that's what I meant.

    I've been out of work for nine days now.

    I went to an informal interview at Radio Shack. They had all the applicants in one room in side-by-side chairs and a bunch of managers across from them. It feels like you can't get your point across when you hear the guy next to you answering too.

    Must've been OK, because they called me for a second interview on Monday. I'll probably really have to screw it up to not get hired.

    -_^ I can't think of a single way that this is a good idea...

    Good luck. Here's hoping those 9 days don't keep adding up.
