Whenever I work I can't seem to sleep. I have disability but I can't quit because they invested the money in my training. It is only the second week of training. Should I just be on disability and not work? Not sleeping is dangerous.

Do you have any sleep meds? Maybe ask your Pdoc about some?
Do you have good sleep hygiene? get up and go to bed at set times and stick to it ?

OK, going without sleep is bad for you as you know. At least you don't drive for a living. I think you have to put your welfare ahead of your job. I know how working can help make your self-esteem rise. Contributing to your own well being. But the bottom line is if lack of sleep is an issue for you; you should acknowledge it. Regardless of how much the call center has invested in you. I hope this helps.

IMO the call center can be stressful. Stress can cause other problems besides the lack of sleep. I guess it depends on how good you are at handling stress. I think people with our MI usually have difficulty handling large amounts of stress.
It sounds like you accepted the job and have been trained. So I would give the job a chance. But this is my opinion on what I would do in your situation. I think adjusting to being back in the workforce is a huge undertaking and will initially be very difficult. Perhaps set a date. By then, if the job is not working out, then quit. At least you then would have given the job a chance. Please keep your mental well-being your top priority. BTW I will be in a similar situation soon.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
