Georgie,
I'm really sorry about your job. My daughter has dyslexia so I can understand some of what you're going through (she's only 11 though and still in school).
What I try to make her see is that eventhough she can't spell very good and sometimes struggles reading, there are so many other things she's great at. She's very artistic, is a wiz on the computer and can remember things that I have long forgotten. You need to find the things you are great at and focus on them.
I get frustrated also especially when trying to explain to her teachers that the problems they see with her (not knowing her times tables, not reading on her levels, etc.) are not because she's not trying, it is an effect of dyslexia. I usually end up feeling like I'm beating my head against a brick wall.
Also, there are alot of good websites out there - I just typed in "dyslexia" in Google and bookmarked several.
I don't know that I've helped you any, but please post or email me if you need anymore info. Maybe you can give me some ideas to help with my daughter.
Marie
