disability

[Guest guest]

I have to ditto the replies you’ve gotten thus far. I was totally involved

with my job which became my life. I worked an easy 65 hour week on the job

and brought it home too doing more late at night and over the weekends on

the computer the company provided me. I absolutely loved my job. When I

was forced to leave it, I thought that it was the end of my life and there

was no way I could handle that but you know – I did and over time, I feel

that leaving the job stabilized my health and although I’m not in perfect

health, I believe I have more endurance than I had before. Of course, you

have to know that before I left on disability, I went thru a period of about

6 months when I struggled to get from the living room to the bedroom or the

bathroom. Every movement was a chore and the Mito symptoms were extremely

bad. Since then, I have had some periods of extreme health problems but

being home allows me to take care of those bad days.

I’ve kept myself busy with other things. You would be surprised how busy

you can be when you are not working. There’s just so much that can take the

place of work and keeping yourself at the right pace is something you’ll

find necessary but easy to do. Think about this move to disability as a

positive step in helping yourself after having given so much of yourself to

others in the past. Now you are doing something for you. Eventually, this

becomes easy and you will grow to enjoy it.
