How do you know when you’re well enough to handle working?

2nd thoughts about not filing appeal. Remembering compartmentalized history of self & family of origin. Filing appeal may keep options open/flexibility. They can jump through my hoops now. Also took multiple actions in mission to infiltrate normies. Accepting of embarking on new journey of burnout. This is day 2.

Waffling on 2nd thoughts. I know I’m low energy. Best result to prioritize down to one thing. Infiltrate normies. Ultimate goal: stockpile provisions to finance next breakdown. First step, identify anchor points in routine to build around. If I can create a new routine to support my goal, the rest seems to take care of itself...

Hi, I am just embarking on getting a job to support myself. I am stable, but after my first part-time job, I know I need a low-key, low stress job such as working for Wal-mart or some place that isn't so hard in the retail business. I can manage 'doing' work, it's when it's nothing to do, that I get anxious. It's very boring and the time goes by so slow. How are you doing now?

Hi, I’m doing better. I don’t know if I could do retail again. I’m volunteering right now.

I'm glad you're doing better. :wink:

That's good you're volunteering for now. Retail is tough, but at least for now, that's all I know how to do.

Things can always be worse.

I agree...

I just quit my last job and am in search of a new one. I try other options but with my limited work experience, it's not so easy. Still, I press on. There has to be a job with my 'name' on it! :wink:

I've been out of work for 2 years but I might be starting a dead-end job on Wednesday. I'm absolutely dreading it but I need the structure back to my life and I desperately need money. I wouldn't say I'm ready but I don't think I ever will be really.

Yep, I agree Proteon. That’s why they call it work.

I’ve been volunteering for a couple months now. I’m just waiting for an opening at this point as I build my accuracy, speed, strength, & endurance.
