Finding Work Balance
I work on my feet and with my hands. I've dismissed fatigue, pain, depression, and anxiety as burnout. Now that I've been diagnosed and am trying to get back to work I'm debating whether or not I can do full 50 hour weeks still. Has anyone had experience about changing their job or schedule because of MS?
I don’t have words of wisdom to share but I’m going through similar things. I have a very active job and it’s all I can do to get through the work day. Then I get home and I still have to figure out how to feed myself and do dishes etc and increasingly some days I just can’t. But I don’t think I’m qualified for any other type of work. I make decent money where I am and I’m scared to lose my home if I can’t make as much elsewhere.
@Kendronicus that's exactly how I'm feeling. Id like to get back to exercising but how do I do that if my energy is all spent on work? This week will be a trial run for me to see if it's sustainable or I have to at least go down to 40 hours
