I have an interview tomorrow.

First time posting here so hello 👋🏽.

Let's see... Today, a customer with a really messed up attitude lost her mind and yelled at me like a lunatic, which wasn't appreciated. I'm pretty sure I managed to remain calm during our long, crazy "interaction". But I started dissociating at one point and at this moment, I can't recall a chunk of the interaction. I don't even care.

I'm just glad I'm home now. I've had enough people for one day.

I don't understand why I can't find any way to make money in human society feeling content and without feeling disgusted and yucky. It seems everywhere there's money to be made there's corruption and back stabbing. Maybe being a doctor, who doesn't push pills, who's honest and doesn't care about $$$?

Last week, I signed up for Ticket-to-Work through the Social Security Administration. My youngest son turns 18 this month, and my income will change. I need to at least work part-time. I am happy to report that my new HAE injection treatments seem to be working. My HAE attacks have slowed down a lot. I received hospital bills from my last few HAE attacks. Working will help me get them paid off.

I have an assigned vocational case manager. We had a phone conversation this week and discussed resumes. I have been dealing with a lot of anxiety over how to explain the gap in my employment history. My case manager explained that I should list volunteer work and explain during interviews that I took time off to raise a family. My kids are all grown, and I am returning to work. Being disabled is very hard, and I understand that it varies greatly from person to person, depending on the type of disability (disabilities) in addition to the severity.

I have a very close relationship with my youngest son, and that’s mainly because I started receiving SSDI when he was in fourth grade. He’s a senior in high school, and I still take him to school and pick him up. I have been able to attend all his school events, band concerts, band competitions, open house events, and parent-teacher conferences. I participated in school carnivals, bake sales, and helped chaperone events. I dropped him off and picked up him and his classmates.

I found a few articles that discuss returning to the workforce. I hope others find the articles helpful too.

•Stay-at-home-mom valuable transferable skills.

Just a moment...

•Finding a job/reentering the workforce after being a stay-at-home-mom.

Just a moment...

•Finding a job/reentering the workforce after a long absence.

Just a moment...

This is an old post but I had to reply to it.

I long for the same thing.

Been looking/applying. Starting a paid project constructing a temp. stage for the city. Hopefully the stage doesn't collapse until after the person in charge gets contacted as a reference

But I guess I'm in a work-to-stay situation here cooking, cleaning, fixing shyt, whatever.
