Of those of you who work, do you sometimes envy those who don’t? I don’t want to be so ill that I don’t have a choice, but I wish I didn’t have to. I’m betting everybody who works, ill or not, thinks this.
Work seems to take more of a toll on me than it does my stable coworkers.
How about you guys?
I’m ready to quit work, it can be over whelming, especially during the busy season, but thanks to my vandal friends have to keep going, even though it is really hard on me now
I have just reduced my hours. I was sick of being completely drained and stressed by work that it would take the weekend to recover just to do it all over again.
I moved out of my parents house last year, so now I have no choice but to work to pay for living.
It’s just so hard to keep going but I prefer it to not working at all. I didn’t work for about 6 months after diagnosis, and I hated it.
I am lucky that my work supports me with this and recognise that it’s difficult sometimes.
I hear you on all counts! I absolutely get worse when I’m not working. This job I have now is the best I’ve ever had, not because I particularly like the work, but because my boss is EXTREMELY understanding. She lets me leave early when I’m not doing well and always gives me time off for my appointments. Very important!
I am glad to hear your employer is good like that. I find it makes a massive difference as I am sure there are some places that are not as accommodating.
For certain. I had a job I really enjoyed, but they were so corporate and detached. My cousin died and I needed to leave, as I was overwhelmed with grief, and my boss asked if I could “just work through it”. Couldn’t believe it.
I think that if I were in good health, if I were in good health,
I would do excellent.
I would be considered a highly successful person.
My health is KILLING me!
I hate being in the situation I am.
I am meant to do great things in Israel and I can’t work in any job!!!
If I were fully healthy I would be highly successful.
If the only job I could perform would be a humiliating job for me, like janitor,
I would go for it as well!!!
How humiliating it is that the only thing that I can do is exercise, which I do every day with great devotion.
i work 4 days a week i get tired a lot and when its happening i envy those who dont work.
but on the other hand i know its vital to be busy with something and work its one of the things keeping me busy.
