Safety of my job
In my company several employees have been fiered, I think it is because of budget cut and they are trying to play with budget. When I do my work I try to put my 100% but becasue of my ADHD, stress and God knows what else I do some minor mistakes. I cannot read the signes and any words out of my supervisor 's mouth makes me nervous

I understand your concerns. I’d be nervous too. In some cases, it’s worth thinking about the best, worst and most likely outcome related to your current situation. If the thought patterns repeat the “what if” without taking it a step further and making a plan for the worst case scenario, it’s really hard to manage the related stress.
The other two questions, what might be the best case, and what’s the most likely outcome, can help organize thoughts, and may even help a tiny bit to reduce stress.
After struggling with it throughout my growing up years, I was finally diagnosed with ADHD during my second year at college. I’m also a bit dyslexic, but it seems to affect numbers more than words. After being diagnosed, I did receive some instruction on how best to manage the symptoms. I was on medication for a few years, but I think my focus was “retrained” to the extent that I was able to leave the meds behind. If you haven’t spoken to your doctor or therapist about the ADHD, it might be worth a try. An interesting thing about my experience with dyslexia is that I can read words at a quick glance, but if I stare at them, the letters lose their meaning.
I’d like to think your boss recognizes your dedication, and is aware of your ADHD and reading challenges, and is keeping you on the job because of your good work ethic.
Is it possible to ask someone what the signs say? Are there different shapes and colors of the signs that can give some insight on what they mean? Have you had an opportunity to receive personalized help with reading?
It may help to be “proactive” with your supervisor, for example, ask him how he feels you’re doing, or if they have suggestions regarding how to improve your work.
It means a lot to a supervisor to realize a worker is interested enough in the work and improving that they actually will approach and ask questions. It also puts you a bit more in control of the situation and potentially reduces the stress of worrying about what may come out of their mouth next.
In a sense, instead of waiting for something to happen and continuing to worry about it, you’re reaching out and gaining much needed information that can help you plan for your next move.
Please let me know how it works out for you.
