I want to work, even if I fail - I love my own money, stuff and home... I also make friends at work, and have a schedule. So, the fear or working or stess about work is not an issue for me! Try, so what if you quit or get fired, you might like it and NOT!

Being unable to work - sucks, as I can't get dressed or leave the house - this is truly my worst, wanting a life and can't - but if I'm walking and talking, showering - I'm about getting uncomfortable and pushing.... My money and job - quite a bit of my personality in there. Without a schedule or money - this makes me feel a loser, which makes it harder to get better......

I understand you don't want to work - stress of going to work...

But can you work?

I received SSD for 5 years and often had conflicting feelings but I waited until I was really ready to go back to work. I'm glad I did.
So do what you can and what you must do and things will work out.

Thanks everyone! I can work I am trying to get motivated. I know I will feel good about working I just need to push myself.

I've gone through it... I was fortunate to still have my job and was on long term disability for almost 3 years

During the time I was off I started volunteering and set my pace...I found volunteer work did a ton for my self esteem ...It felt really good to give back...
Perhaps doing something like that and deciding what you're up to working might help you get started... You can usually let the organization know what you're able to work... One day a week, four hours a day or whatever

Great big hug for ya...x

Thank you. I am volenteering right now one day a week, it is very rewarding. I am also looking into maybe going back to school. I am real ify about it though, I already have a degree and am not sure i want to go through that again.
