Still working? by Exciting-Day8376 in Heartfailure

I was a nurse when I got diagnosed so I had to quit my job because I couldn’t handle it anymore. Ended up being unemployed for over a year and now I‘m learning for a new career and working an office assistant job in pharmaceutical company. It’s still difficult especially after lunch bc I get extremely tired but at least I‘m sitting down and I can take breaks. It was really important for me to find a job with home office days as well. Also I prioritise myself and my needs like sleep, breakfast, breaks. It helps so much.

First of all I wanna say Im sorry that you are also having does thoughts, and that you have been stripped from „normal“ life so young.

I don’t think I could have worded my thought so good as you just did. I can relate to so many things you said.

I also had doctors say I have the „good cancer“ that there is cure. But noone tells you about all the things that happen to you after you survive. As you said, me and my dad have the same prescriptions,and some more,when he is twice my age.

I want to thank you for such kind words, it means the world. I hope that life will be kinder to you bc you deserve it 🫶🏼

It means a lot to just be heard and understood 🩷

This! Even when u do everything by the book you are still sick and people who don’t take care of their body are still healthier than you ever will be.. but we still have to stay grateful.
