I do a combination of collecting my disability insurance and working part time as a “picker” at the current time.

Health conditions are making this difficult though, as I was told I have bronchitis and I also am repeatedly exposed to cat allergens, which I appear to be quite allergic.

Its very hard to keep working when you are always not feeling well. For now, I am going to keep pushing through, though. Hoping things get better on this front.

In another life I was in musical trio that played at weddings and gatherings. Sometimes if we didn’t have a lot of gigs, we’d go play at a restaurant near the beach.

It’s been years since that and I’ve been unemployed. I receive ssdi. I don’t thing I am able to function in such a social setting any longer. It was neat having thousands of dollars in my pockets when I was young. That and the life experience of partying with strangers every week. Times have changed.

I am stock trader and a stock investor.

The work is very volatile, and emotions can switch between euphoria and depression within a few minutes. But, this is the only type of work that gets the dopamine flowing, I feel it is being blocked otherwise by medications or maybe ADD. Like I am a person made for emergencies, and here-stocks- my brain works better than any other place I feel.

I’m on disablity right now, but I sell stuff online to make some extra cash. I’ve held down a handful of jobs since I got sz. I’m going to take some tech classes over the summer to try and get into IT work. I was thinking about trying to do doordash or instacart but not sure if I’m going to.
