alone on the board

I'd like to hear from people who are forced to work - like me.
I feel so left out on the boards with all the people who talk about how they are gonna fill their day. It makes me wanna SCREAM.
I want friends on here who understand how it is to be forced to work while battling mental illness. If this is you Please contact me

my work is force that I must maintain and I keep on going into in between mode....Job jumping me....I am happy to be working but when I am not working I am alone....I kind of wish they paid disability better than it does because I was on disability years ago...now I do not know if I could survive on it....but I am forced to work for not enough.....wish I was able to make $50K in a year....it would be different if the money was simple and flowing in....

I should or need to work financially . I\'m just not very good at keeping jobs , especially when I don\'t feel real or that money doesn\'t matter, or I get so depressed I can\'t get out of bed , or get into the mood cycle where I can\'t smile and please don\'t make small talk with me cuz I really don\'t care episodes, or the ones where I just know this is the day I may go off cuz I feel really crazy ,
Yes working mental illness is challenging.
There are days I just don\'t know how in the world I will get through this day let alone work. big hugs

I feel you, I work two jobs and attend university. It is tough to keep going when things feel so low. But you do it! That\'s pretty special. Hugs!
