Hey hey,
What’s up all?
Just gotta vent something, which is unusual for me… I’ve been through hell with CFS, and didn’t need so speak to anyone about it; I just dealt with it. Really getting a bit mental now, though, trying to figure out how to earn money when I’m currently at 25%.
It’s insane, really; I used to be so bad I could hardly even sit up in bed or stand; now I can garden for two hours a day. You’d think I’d be elated at how much I’ve improved, but when faced with a difficult puzzle, my brain really short-circuits, you know?
I’m trying to figure out how to make some money working from home, and, maybe, finally get off a benefit. However, I’ve got no good work contacts, no car, no drivers license, limited energy when I leave the house anyway, and a meeting with the welfare people in a week’s time.
I’ve looked at a few different work options, I get excited about them, and then see why they won’t work. An old friend of mine, who once offered me some accounting work I could do at home (which I had to refuse at the time), isn’t replying to my emails.
I went hard at uni, and got a Masters degree in Commerce, but then joined a monastery, and then got sick after that… so I’ve just got so little experience to pick up from now. It’s embarrassing, you know, being 33 years of age, and having so little to show for it. Looking at an empty CV, and then looking at what my peers can do, I’m like, “who’s gonna hire me?”
Although you might get some of you energy back, like I have, you still gotta fix your nervous system - so it doesn’t consider an ordinary dilemma - like finding some work - to be an emergency situation.
You also gotta think about what you might do once you do start to get a bit better, as well. I spent the last 12 months going down the Rabbit Hole, trying to find out what was really going on in the world… well, at least I got my answers there.
Right: time to go and turn my attitude around. If anyone has any solutions, I’d really appreciate hearing them
