What darn illness is it, your MH?
Aren't there some companies that support people with MH?
You could just look at something part-time, so you don't have to work five days a week.
Here are a couple of links you might like. Not sure if they will help, but worth a look. There is support so you can have a job @Kyle1.

yeah there's that. And brain tumor, which hasn't disabled me yet but does add angst to everything else. Like,. I'm scared to make new friends (even though I desperately want to) because it wouldn't be fair when things get bad in there..
Thanks for the links @Birdofparadise8
I think I can look them up tomorrow

Oh, that's right. I'm sorry @Kyle1.
You deserve to have friends. Is your brain tumour terminal?

Ah okay @Kyle1
I'm so sorry to hear you have a tumour that must be really scary.
What are you doing this avo?

I think I am optimistic about that most days @Birdofparadise8 but now and again, yes, the reminder is scary. Particularly when all this other stuff proves unrelenting...
Today I have laid in bed. AGAIN! and I'm sick of it. I've not eaten. I feel guilty if I do. I've not showered. I feel wasteful if I do.
Luckily I cooked a big dinner last night, so the kids already have something prepared 🤞

I'm sorry @Kyle1
Do you have a psychologist?
I do get it though not wanting to do things, but sometimes it's the effort before you do it that is the worst and once you do it you feel better.
What did you cook?

yes, I know you're right about that @Birdofparadise8
Sometimes we have to get our brain out of the way of ourselves ... Then, as we know, somedays it just ain't happening for us! ...

Oh yes definitely, I'm definitely the same @Kyle1.
Take it easy on yourself.

no psych yet. Am on a waiting list. And my weekly therapist is prebooked for a while. I've not seen her for over a month @Birdofparadise8
