but when i try and tell ppl that im nervous to take that on and put myself into a flare up everyday … everyone just laughs and thinks im lazy and dont want to work. it is so extremely frustrating.

I work 40 hrs a week, and I cannot handle it. I have zero work/life balance bc I’m either working, sleeping, or in a flare. Apparently it’s too much to ask for a social life, time for rest, and a stable income while disabled

I feel like I could do 30hrs tho, but then I wouldn’t be able to afford to move out of my parents house
