Can't work

I'm told I shouldn't work because of my problems--not until I have meds and things are stable. That won't be for a while yet since it takes a couple weeks for an appointment and another month for the things to maybe/hopefully work. What am I supposed to do for money to pay bills?! I have to find *something* for work. I'm not on disability, and it would take forever to get that approved. A job is the best chance I've got and I have to do it. Part-time or full-time, I don't care. I can do that and meds, whenever that happens, whenever they might become effective. I'm too emotional and everything.

I'm sending good thoughts your way that things work out for you dear. I know it must be a terrible place to be right now. I'm crossing my fingers. Hang in there.

Take care,
Kimberly.

inky,

I know you are a student as well as working as well as parenting as well as playing a superhero in your off time ....

what systems are you going through now for the meds? I know you've mentioned a super cool T that you see as you are able. I'm glad he is in the mix. Have you checked out vo-rehab in your city? Does your school have any work-study jobs that pay enough (hah!) but take little brain power?

I read elsewhere that you're beginning meds now. Woo hoo. My fingers are crossed for you for a gentle but effective experience as you titrate up the dose.

You're managing when you least think you can Inky. You have a lot more survival skills than you give yourself credit for.

I've been in the same situation you are in right now. Things will get better. You are in my thoughts and prayers that you can pull through this. Have faith.

I just got out of the hospital and thought I could go back to work, but it's too much for me right now. I'm in a PHP and that's almost too much for me at times so I just quit my job. It's gonna be rough but I know I can do it...and so can you.

Good luck.
