I work a full work-week and I find it difficult to keep up the pace. I'm a teacher so I work on the weekends when I should be resting up. I get exhausted and frustrated by how tired and run-down I get. The weather is turning nice and I'm hoping to get outside more to lift my mood. I find it difficult to keep up.

frustration does come with a 40hr work week.....been there done that.
Keeping up pace isn't easy, for me it's lack of motor control.....So, keeping is really hard for me anyway.
I,ve lost many job's, I can't even count anymore.
employer's kept on cutting hour's

My last last job I had, I only worke 3 hour's 3 hour's a day (18 hr's total) So, it's frutrating as hell/

Worked 40 hours a week for 21 years. Loved it ! Would still be working if the aging process hadn't caught up with me. Work was good for my mental well being. Work allowed me to accomplish my goals in life. Always good to be self- supporting if possible.

I've worked 40 hours or more for several jobs. For me, it's doable but, like everything else with CP, it's different for each person.
