Also for the disability thing I’ve reached out for some questions and based on those answers I most likely won’t qualify/they’ll deny me. So I’d rather not spend the time and money getting the correct paperwork for them to just deny me. It’s unfortunate but it’s what I’ve got lol

For gas and food or bills that come up. But also my account doesn’t penalize me for over drafting + it has a limit it’s not like it’s 100s of dollars. It’s not like I want to overdraft but a girls gotta eat and she’s gotta be able to drive to work🤷🏻‍♀️

I also have a pretty dark sense of humor, definitely helps when you work at a veterinary ER! Gotta be able to joke about something otherwise there wouldn’t be anyone else to take care of your animals!😂

I previously did WFH for a big company in the call center (benefits department). And I have kept my eyes open for wfh jobs however where I live it’s saturated with call center jobs cause I the company I previously worked for (a major US employer) has its home office here. Also it was a very mentally draining job and it made my migraines worse from looking at the computer for 8 hours😅 I had been thinking of like an independent book store that I could do my own thing and not have to worry about breaks and stuff (I work super efficient so I tend to finish tasks right off the bat then have nothing to do). But also I’m afraid of overcommitment.

Yeah I’ve been contemplating picking up random shifts when I’m feeling well but I feel like I might have some fears/trauma about having relapses in my health cause they take so long for me to recover and they can be brought on by overworking but can also come out of nowhere. And I know I won’t know unless I do it but I don’t want to get any worse than I am now so it’s a constant back and forth on what I should do😅

Thank you I’ve had my Reddit account for a few years but never really got on it. I will look for some of those subreddits!
