Mental Illness and Hard Work

[humble soul]

I mean the mentally ill who can't handle much stress due to a low anxiety threshold.
This includes myself. I can't really work hard. 12 hour shifts are out of the question. These days even an 8 hour shift is tough. This is due to physical disability as well. But I couldn't do a high pressure sales job for example.
My brain gets easily overstimulated. Those neurons can go haywire. Make mountains out of molehills. I become innefficient and unproductive.

 

[humble soul]

So I salute the tough workaholics of this world. Who handle pressure well. We need them. Even they might not shine the light of Christ on others, they are useful in other ways. Society needs them.
You ever watch in awe as builders work hard all day on a construction site? Houses don't get built on their own.

 

[humble soul]

Imagine having to think up jokes for a living. That wouldn't be funny actually.

One of my coworkers used to ask me if I was working hard, or hardly working.
