The Daily Life Thread

Still fatigued. I don't think my workplace offers short term disability, but I'm talking to my manager tomorrow about something, even if it's just reducing my hours for a bit.
 
Just a random thought 💭

When I applied for disability my parents had me work with a disability advocate. He had worked in the social security administration for decades and then worked with people who needed disability to help determine a) if they truly qualified and b) if so how to get the best case put together and jump through hoops.

Just a thought. Not as expensive as a lawyer and not as aggressive but he was quite helpful for me, personally.
 
Still severely fatigued... it's taking everything I have just to do the bare minimum or even exist.:missyou
Also seems to have come with clinical depression, like the kind you just can't shake off. I think my entire body is just off right now, makes sense my mind would be as well...
Can't even enjoy my days off work. It's like I'm living in a thick fog.
 
Someone banged on my door 🚪 hard at 5:30 am. I was semi awake already so I handled it ok ✅ but…

Wow. It’s a building with 12 apartments mostly 2 bedrooms and 2 bath but some 3 bedrooms and 2 bath….

Anyway it was either my door 🚪 or even harder on a nearby units door and the sound carried so…

Ugh 😑 needless drama 🎭 lol 😆

The day itself has been slow quiet and mercifully…uneventful. I’m about to run the dishwasher and maybe 🤔 try to watch some random tv 📺.

I’m apparently not diabetic but I do need help with losing weight so my new to me doctor 👨‍⚕️ prescribed an older generic medication used for blood sugar control. So far it’s been helpful in a background sort of way. I crave things less, especially sugar and starch. I’m glad there are non stimulant non psychoactive medications to help.

I’m hoping for uninterrupted sleep 💤 and maybe 🤔 a late morning awakening? I dunno 🤷‍♂️
 
Kinda spent my day doing nothing... other than going to Mass. I think doing nothing is kinda horrible for the depressed mind... but also being depressed makes you want to lie around and do nothing. Oi vey.
 
Also, like... I had been depression free for like nearly two years.... but then I took on more work than my body could handle and now I'm both mentally and physically paying the price. Geez, I didn't think trying to help someone who needs help would ruin my health this badly... 😕

Do you work in a toxic environment or for a bad company?

Not really, not anymore. I'm just chronically ill and have multiple disabilities. I have to manage my energy so carefully. What happened is I took on some work outside of my job and it threw my body into fatigue and exhaustion that will take months or years to recover from. I've had this happen before.
The person I was doing work for has disabilities as well and no one else to help her. I didn't think trying to help her would mess me up this badly, but here we are.
 
Yeah, for now. They need to be repeated every few years. They checked my right eye (which was done in December) and the pressures there have gone down.
 
Think I'm just extra depressed due do after surgery stress, but honestly I haven't been this bad off since I was admitted to the mental hospital in 2022. I'm not going to do anything, I have no plans to do anything, but I really truly don't want to be here any longer.
