hi BB. they do make it incredibly hard to get off benefits. it's something a lot of people aren't aware of. it was a struggle for me for a while. eventually i did get off ssdi in 2018 and have worked full time since then. its possible.
can you ask your job to not schedule you these turn and burn shifts? closing and then coming into open is totally unreasonable and most people won't do it. i think you have some leverage to say, I cant do this anymore. having set shift times would be much better.
i remember my first job while on disability, i worked 20 ish hours a week. i was so nervous, shy, socially anxious and worn out. it's not easy! but i eventually adapted. hang in there. but take care of yourself first and foremost
