Guilt

Does anyone else feel guilt over not being able to work full time, or is it just me? I have always been a hard worker since I started at age 15. But during my first big episode and ever since, my endurance is nil. I currently work parttime, and haven't worked full time just before my medical leave of absence in February. I can easily work 4-5 hours, sometimes squeeze to 6 if I can. But the regular 8 hours a day, 5 days a week is gone, at least for now. I so hope it comes back 😔

I was just diagnosed 5 months ago at 49 years old. Is this the end of my full time work career?

If you could work you would be working. Be gentle with yourself. But I understand the guilt. Our culture judges us on our ability to work.
