I work full time. I have many things that I do to try to manage my Fibro every day so I can continue to work. It’s not always easy.
@A MyFibroTeam Member Yes, I have a full time job and a part time job (it is just 2-3 days a month). It can be hard, but I manage. Luckily, my full time job is a 10 min walk from my apartment, so that makes things easier. It is quite fast paced, but does involve a lot of computer tasks, so I do get to sit down a lot. I also have 3 great coworkers and a great manager, who I can tell if I am not well and need help or a break. I am very lucky that although it is hard, my fibro lets me do this. If you, or anyone else, can't, please don't feel guilty! We are all different and have different needs.
@A MyFibroTeam Member sorry I missed your message about living with shame I am sorry you went through that you need to be proud of yourself because your going through your own issues but still you have showed me such kindness and support even though i am a stranger for you you have made me laugh and smile. You should be super proud of yourself for being such a lovely human!
I recently retired. But before that I was on short term disability because of the fatigue.
No worries, just wanted you to know you aren’t alone. Shame is a beast.
But thank you for your kind words. ☺️
