Just a little sad

[closedingirl]

I've had Crohn's for the last three years. I was working when I was diagnosed. Eventually, I had to leave my job due to the pain and fatigue...and the fact that my boss refused to find a replacement for me when I had to go to the hospital and in effect made me stay for two hours finding my own replacement. Eventually, she cussed me out and I left.

What makes me really sad is the fact that even though I applied for disability, no one believes I can't work. Even my fiance. I had a roommate who called me lazy and irresponsible because I have food stamps and started the disability process. Every word she said to me was condescending and mean.

It really hurts that my fiance doesn't believe me. He lives with me, he sees me going through all this pain and hardship and still believes I can work. No job wants someone who has to go to the bathroom every fifteen minutes or has an hour where they're too doubled up in pain to work. It's just not possible.

Thank for the chance to share this.

I won't tell what i would do with my fiance if he was being like that with me, but it wouldn't be very nice.

Welcome and every bit of luck with your health

Lol. I've got some issues with being alone. Sometimes our relationship is fantastic.

Don't quit closedingirl, and I mean don't quit on anything. Try to continue working although I agree with you it might be very difficult at times. On the other it will help stop thinking about your own (bad) luck and misery and it will even help you to feel better often. Moreover, I would say that it's important for a young girl to have financial independence. Please get angry! Fight! Get angry at your boss, at your fiance at everybody that doesn't understand what you're going through. Or just leave them, don't pay attention to their insensitiveness and move on. Try and find a job you can do from your house, your own environment, the hours and days that suit you. There is very little information on your profile so I don't know your qualifications but .......... don't give up on work, career and independence. Take it easy but move on.

Thank you so much for such a positive response!

Also, I fixed my profile so it shows more about me. I'm a pretty simple person.
