I'm stable I don't really need therapy but I'm tired of just getting by and want to excel. My job would let me go full time if I ask, but it's a very stressful job.

Right now I work 3 days a week. partial days. I average 15 hours a week. So really working 30 hours a week would be a big change let alone 40. Was working 20, felt like alot.

Am I just dreaming I have tons of services but honestly not sure I really need them they're more of a way to be occupied. I do like being part time. But I want more out of life than what I'm living.

What will be your annual salary if you go full time? You don’t need to answer but it would determine if you can afford quitting disability (I assume you will have to go off disability), then you’ll have to pay full price for an apartment and fully support yourself. So it depends how much money you’ll earn

I'd earn about 8 to 10k more a year.

Can you live on it? Can you handle full time schedule? If yes then I’d go for it.

Decided going full time would be too stressful with current job, but did apply to a full time job that pays much more, about 17k more. My mom is adding me to her trust my financial future is looking up!

ok having a bad day physically exhausted from being so stressed. Realized working full time a really bad idea it would push me too far I think. I really enjoy my life of leisure. Just hoping they don't offer me the job. cause I know I'd take it.
