Can You Hold Down A Job?

A MyLupusTeam Member asked a question πŸ’­

The longest I've managed to hold down a job is 18 months- this is due to the miles long list of symptoms I've had in the last several years. I feel like I'm going to be stuck for the rest of my life doing random odd jobs for short bursts. Lupus prevented me from graduating and I have no college degree to get me any better work. Thankful for my husband that I am not in "need" of work- but I'm bored and feel pathetic.

Hi Lady. It can get very depressing. I had a time feeling the same. Had to rely on family til I picked up and hated every
moment of it and like you
felt absolutely pathetic.
Glad Niranjana has answered you. She is a very knowledgeable experienced warrior so will be a great help.
I just wanted to let you know you are not alone in your feelings. And hopefully for you as it did me a solution arose and I couldn’t be happier.
Good luck and take it easy on yourself.πŸ˜ŠπŸ¦‹πŸ’œ
