Hey Hey Hey
So in the last blog post, I talked about my mental health. So I am on disability for my health issues. I do work on call during "healthy" times then stop altogether during my sicker times. It is a matter of productivity. When I feel productive - whether it be hobbies, volunteering or working just on call - I feel like a worthwhile person. Being busy makes me feel alive.
I cannot make any rec'ds about what to do in anyone's situations. First, work on being the healthiest person you can be before you do anything else.
Second, if you can...try to work one half day per week. It is not about money. Even if you could use it and who could not use more money these days? It is about testing your limits. Pair yourself with a voc rehab counsellor. Or a Peer Specialist from your clinic/community center. They can give you employment support as you navigate this process and beyond.
There will be times when there is more failure than success. That is okay! It is a part of all our stories.
-Until Next Time
