Holding down a job..

[Jayangel81]

Anyone else have a really hard time keeping a job due to their illnesses, or am i the only one that seriously feels like a complete failure?

I think maybe its time to go on disability for a bit till my meds start to kick in...i havent been on any in a long time

I dont even know what to say to my family anymore..they dont understand what im going through...which i tried to explain but im still getting nowhere

Hey, im sure youre not the only one that has problems, if you really cant stand to be at work it might be just best to go on disability for a bit. I would keep fighting it if i were you. You must keep strong and go at it again. I know you can do it

I've totally had a hard time staying on task at my job, which can certainly make having a job very difficult. However, I always feel better when i feel like i'm accomplishing something. But, I know several people who have used disability to recover and who have done quite well. You should involve your doc and see what their advice is...

Hey Jayangel

I had OCD a couple of years back and it did start affecting my work in that it was causing me to arrive late and some other stuff too while I was working. But I personally was glad I had work because it helped to keep my mind busy and interact with the 10 others in the office.

I myself was able to get out of my problems when God showed me to put faith in him and ignore all of my OCD stuff. With one of my OCD problems I was scared that I was saying bad things out load when in the office – I prayed to God that he would not allow this to happen.

I will pray for you.

My mom's had a hard time with holding down a job. She's recently gotten much better, though, so there is hope!
