it affects my work too, how can it not........ you just need to remember you are okay as a person and try to work with your symptoms........I know it is difficult

well i use to work and it was hard at times for me but it really sucks more that i am not working because the more u stay in the house it makes this bp thing just sink in at least for me that's what it does. Hang in there ((HUGS))

work has always been hard for me, but... I don't think it is always me anymore... so you too can make progress................. I know it is hard, and unfair too...........

I had trouble working, and was out on disability w/ a few months off to get myself better. It was the meds that kept me out of work, couldn't remember tiny details that make all the difference.

But not working actually gives you too much time to sit and think, sometimes (mostly) in non-positive ways. So just do your best, it's all you can do and it's probably better for you to keep working.
