Working and CF

Wheezie · Jun 18, 2007

I didn't want to hijack danyell's post, but reading it brought up a big issue for me that I'm hoping maybe some of you might be able to help me with.

I'm currently working outside the home and in March I finally had to reduce my hours to half-time. This has worked so much better for my health, allowing me to take better care of myself and not get too stressed or worn out. But financially, I'm really struggling. It's to the point where now I'm looking for side jobs to supplement my income, which completely negates the working part-time goal.

I also keep struggling with the fact that I just don't want to work at all. I feel like my time is limited, I don't want to waste it behind a desk. But the catch 22 is that I need $ to be able to do the things I want to do. Does anybody else feel this way?

I'm not married, live alone, and really, REALLY don't want to get a roommate (which I have tried, so I know it doesn't work well for me). Thinking about moving back home with my mom makes me feel like a total loser - I know it's irrational, but I can't help it.

I guess I'm just venting. There's no real solution to my problem other than acceptance. Sometimes it just sucks.
