Struggling with Chronic Fatigue and Mental Health

AlwaysTiredPerson

445d

Hi Alikes! I finally am giving this a try. Hopefully I'll find some peace with my conditions speaking to people who get me. I'm just so tired of being tired. This Chronic Fatigue is so disruptive on my life and having that on top of all the mental health stuff makes it difficult to work. I've been out of a job job since 2022 and I feel like a disgusting burden on my partner who's supporting us. But while I apply for Disability I have so many restrictions on hours and pay and everyone wants full time people right now. So, even without disclosing my disabilities I STILL can't find any work. I feel discouraged and it's made me feel so worthless I just want to disappear. And I'm only 27. I appreciate anyone able to relate or that has advice. I mostly like being heard. And I wish there were better community programs for body doubling virtually or in person. If I had someone to do that with every other day, I feel like I could function so much better. Thank you for listening 🎧🙏

      I hear you. It's extremely frustrating to want to do things, be productive and contribute, but our bodies just *can't*. Just remember: you're not a burden; you do what you can when you can, and that's ok.

      I’m tired of being tired too. It reduces quality of life so much. My dream would be to be able to go to a music festival or something and stay up all day and party all night!

      I get it. Between chronic illness and mental health stuff I haven't worked in 3 years and I'm only 24.... My partner supports us both and the feeling of being a burden is hard.

      I understand the pain you feel, I have fibromyalgia, pots syndrome, and a couple other things. And I feel like a burden when it comes to me not working much. I get tired so easily. On top of hurting for no reason as well.
