I had an appointment with a job network provider as this is a requirement by the Government when you are on benefits.
She took one look at my resume and it was obvious from my work history that I have never been out of a job.
I could apply tomorrow for a position and start work the next day.
The problem that I have is that this bloody Fibromyalgia knocks me over every single time
No one would seriously want this in their life.
On the outside you appear to be totally normal.............but there in lies the problem...... you are unable to function like everyone else.
It takes you ten times longer to do anything as you just don't have the stamina or energy.
You try and do things that everyone else takes for granted and you simply fall into a heap.
As an example. Simple things like shaving your legs or washing your hair....... you put off until you cannot stand it any longer as you simple need the energy to do other things.
CRAZY...................................
I must be thankful though.
At least I am not bedridden anymore.
Spending more than 20 hours in bed was just torture.
Now I go to bed to have a rest and to sleep at night.
Since my appointment with the job provider I have stepped up the search for a job that I could do.
There are plenty out there but none that are part time.
I have to put the handbrake on and not feel to pressured into forcing myself into something that will only end in disaster and tears.
Who knows how this will all play out.
All I can do is take one step at a time and continue to put one foot in front of the other.
The other is to be thankful each day for everything that I am and everything that I have.
Onward and Upwards..........................................................
