I don’t have a job because I tend to get anorexic whenever I work. Something about the loss of control (gotta do as the boss says) makes me overcompensate by controlling how much I eat. Also I have sexual trauma in my past, so I have trouble being around people.

I don’t have a job for a whole lot of reasons: I haven’t worked since 1998 so I have no recent job history, I get daily, debilitating migraine headaches that interfere with a job, I have chronic, severe low back pain that interferes with a physical job, I have marked poor judgment and inappropriateness in both word and deed due to the bipolar aspect of my sza which makes functioning on a job impossible, plus, I’m 61 years old and near retirement age anyway.

I have been on disability mostly since 2004. I volunteer work as a groundsperson at a cricket club. It’s just a couple of half days a week but it’s rewarding and I do poorly with full time work these days.

I have a part time job. I work 5-15 hours a week via remote. My job is to make edits to video capturing live sports. This is my 2nd season with them.
I’m thinking of working more possibly full time but it has to be the absolute right situation.

I have a job but am barely eking out a living. It is hard to work with this illness. All I do is sleep, eat, work, walk a little, and write on this website. So, it is not easy, but I am hanging in there. I like my job though since I get to meet all kinds of people. But, if I had a choice, I’d rather just do what I want. I’m thinking of going back to school too. I want to do something more creative. I want to be a writer. I will work on it. Writing is fun and cathartic. I want to write about something important though, not just my psychobabble. I will see what I can do.

You are so lucky! Probably luck has less to do with it than the fact that you worked long and hard enough to have enough disability benefits to live on.

I have a job… I don’t enjoy much, but I do like watching my income accumulate. I clock in and I clock out… I hardly converse, which is bit of a bore, but hey the day always ends

All I did was walk in say hello to coworkers and did my job. They got rid of me claiming I do not have any personality or proper social skills.
I want to work, but only because I’m in a mild manic/hyper phase. I can’t hold down a job for more than 3 months. In the past I have cancelled my benefits and told everyone I was fine, because I believed this crazy plot about being an heiress lol. I don’t think it’s safe for me to be off benefits.
