With my disability it wore away at me and I tried to fight through it but once my supervisor started getting on my ass constantly about not doing things as quick as him I decided it would be best if I gave my notice.
I try and stay positive but it's hard sometimes especially now having to use my emergency fund to pay bills/loans. What sucks too is having a recruiter or a producer at a studio add me on LinkedIn making me think something might happen and then nothing does. I sometimes wonder if I made a mistake leaving BC to come back home and make it even harder to find a job in my field but I didn't want to risk having to leave completely broke.

I want to echo the post above, they added you for a reason, even if its for future possibilities, something n your profile resonated. Reach out to that person and start building some kind of relationship, tell him that your interested in what they do, offer to buy him lunch or coffee for his or her time and show up with some great questions/discussion points if you get that far. Stand out. Don't just accept a friends request with no strings attached, that's kind of like a girl throwing a phone number in your lap on the way out of the bar and you not calling her.
