employment

Hi all:

Lost my job this past May due to mostly my brain.  I worked for an attorney, and I was not cut out for the requirements such as multi-tasking, attention to detail, and a fast paced environment; not to mention my inability to concentrate and that my short term memory has packed up and left.   Fast forward to August, I went through the hiring process with Fed ex, and when I got the physical I had to disclose my seizure disorder.  I do not fit the criteria for the D.O.T..  A person has to be seizure free for ten years, and not on medication.  My seizures are when I am sleeping and I have not had one in over six years. Dilantin is still my drug of choice.  Back to the drawing board.  Have been having trouble with depression, a bonus when having a seizure disorder.  I am 52 years old, my only working experience is in an office and that is not an option. I am ready to declare a disability, but not sure I am ready for the red tape that goes with.  I need the income, and am in good shape and health otherwise.  It seems the job competition is tough and I am trying to figure out where to go next. Anyone familiar with the process of getting hired with a disability?  God I hate the label.
