when I started working, I was afraid that I would be judged by so many people who I work with and more. which also makes it harder as I work in the health sector as occupational therapy and physiotherapy. but when I started, I was really open to my manager and team about what I have, so now they gave me 5 mins in between the patient so I have time to gather myself. I see under 13 patients a day, but I'm glad that my work understands as well as my patients. another good thing is they gave me a longer lunch break, which is 1 hour. but if I have any issues, they said they are more than happy to cover for me if I want anything longer. so how I deal I speak up and don't let people walk over me. I can't change, but my workplace can, and they changed a lot of things for me.

I have different levels of ability depending on the day. Sometimes I can stand still and do things like washing the dishes or pouring drinks despite my nerve damage, IBS and chronic fatigue as well as the long list of undiagnosed issues. Other days I need more brakes so I struggle with the idea of going to work at all even on my good days because it feels like I am forcing myself through the lack of energy and not using my good days to enjoy being me.

Ash.G, I've struggled with fatigued and being tired all the time too. I've been praying about it so I'm starting to see a change. Yay! Praise Jesus! Are you doing anything currently to help you not feel fatigued? I'm looking for all the help I can get

When I worked I balance for awhile my conditions and work but once I became sicker my health was too much and working at the same time. I am one of those who give my all when I worked
