Everyone needs an occupation. I neglected to practice guitar and mandolin today and didn’t do anything but sleep and watch YouTube videos. I would like to write but I have no internal monologue and my mind draws a blank. I hope to get to sleep by 12 midnight. I’m depressed but hate the weird feelings I get from antidepressants, the pain is morphed into something mental.
I used to work in banking in mainframe computer support before I got sick. I started out on the mailroom and went to night vocational technical school to learn Business Computer Programming back in the late 1970’s.
Senior insurance broker in commercial lines. Auto fleet specialist.
I have no occupation anymore. I’m on disability. I have had various occupations throughout my life however.
I do however do occasional electrical work for friends and family. I also sell some things on a couple internet sites.
I define occupation as whatever you spend time and effort on.
If it’s what you enjoy doing then chef, photographer, and amateur broadcaster.
Oh , I see. I thought you meant employment. I spend a lot of my time on guitar.
Also a lot of time on this forum
I’m a professional Apple Music listener
I play guitar, percussion and listen to music on Spotify. I also cook, wash dishes and run the vacuum cleaner. I take a shower twice a week and brush my teeth every day. I have enough going on in my life to keep me busy enough.

Did different things.
Academic research. Project management in health care. Now I volunteer. I can’t do project management anymore. My executive functions took too hard a blow. Also, I tend to dislike certain people who drift to the top…like my old manager at a homeless shelter, where I worked a really short time…he always drove up the homeless shelter terrain in his expensive cabrio, bragged about his luxurious second home, couldnt say so much as a hi to his secretary or anyone he deemed beneath him, and fired everyone who was too critical. I couldnt continue there. For this and other reasons.
So now I volunteer in two places I really like. With nice and idealistic bosses. I am a mum. And also running my daily life and recovering take up a lot of time.
I used to be a sales person by profession, specifically for Samsung - TVs, Phones and kitchen appliances were the three contracts i held for them before falling ill
