Hi Chlo,
I think you have to take this case-by-case. Personally, I haven't had fibro very long, my symptoms are relatively moderate compared to some horror stories that I've read, and I only work part-time at a grocery store. That being said, though, it has become more difficult since fatigue, pain, and brain fog get in the way. Some days are worse than others. It is good to get out of the house, interact with people, and get exercise--unfortunately, I feel like crap the next day. Like I said, this is only my personal experience. I cannot imagine working a full-time job as others do.

What kind of work do you do? It may help to talk to your supervisor about your struggles. I will pray for you.

I think it takes time to find out what works to help you feel well enough to work. I know that I feel worse if I eat too much gluten or processed food, and taking Trazadone at night helps me get a more restful sleep. There are also different medications that I take that help like Lyrica and anti-inflammatories for my arthritis. Maybe you need to find ways to help you feel better so you won't feel so much anxiety about it. It takes a while to find out what helps, but hope you find it soon.
