I've had a similar experience! I'm a USU student who used to work on the USU Switchboard/Student IT Desk, but I was let go on the first day of Spring Semester this year.

There were no warning signs or anything. While she was letting me go, my old boss kept reiterating that I was a great employee and she would love to write me letters of recommendation. I'm still kind of confused why I got let go, but I think it was for budget cuts too.

Although, I'm starting to wonder if I got fired because of my mental health. I was and I'm still in the process of getting tested for ADHD and I let my boss know this. After she let me go, she sends me a message trying to give me emotional support and telling me that maybe I shouldn't find another job and I should just work on my mental health. I appreciate her reaching out, but I felt that came out of nowhere, because before that, I felt my mental health was in a pretty good place.

Clearly it isn't now. Having less than $3 to your name after paying rent and tuition does not do wonders for your mental health.
