I am feeling lonely too. My husband works a part-time job evenings at the movie theatre and so most nights it is just me once my son goes to bed. Not that an 8 year old is great company anyway.
I am on disability and expect to be on it for at least a couple of years. My husband thinks I can go back to work in a few months but from the sound of things I will never work full-time again. |
I am 47 years old ans was not officially diagnosed until this past January. I get it.
Do not give up on eventually returning to work. Work provides a sense of fullfillment that you can't get anywhere else, and with today's technology, if your main issue revolves around socializing with others and playing the office game, there's no reason why you can't eventually find something at home working your own hours when you are able. Hang in there and work on getting better and go from there.
