Hello, my name is Germa. I'm reaching out during one of the most difficult times of my life. I recently lost my job due to stress-related health issues while managing schizophrenia, dyslexia, and dyspraxia. In Lithuania's job market, where mental health conditions and learning disabilities carry deep stigma, finding new employment is proving extremely challenging. I have documentation from my GP and UK psychologists confirming my diagnoses (see attached documents and translation). I'm currently under psychiatric care and have been dealing with insomnia, stress, and fatigue that led to my job loss.

Before my recent burnout, I worked in education as a careers adviser and teaching assistant. I'm known for being patient, kind, and empathetic with students—qualities that made my work meaningful but also contributed to taking on too much during a particularly stressful period.

Finding work as a woman with disabilities in Lithuania is extremely challenging. The statistics tell the story: only 30% of working-age people with disabilities in our country are employed, despite thousands of open positions. Nearly half (45%) of companies required to meet disability employment quotas fail to do so, and people with disabilities make up 7.3% of all registered job seekers.
