Finding Fulfillment When Unable to Work

I look forward to the books I can read, the trips I can take ( occasionally) , my kids lives as they grow and living life with my husband

I like to volunteer for different things, and basically just help people.

Pick one thing you need to get done and one thing you find fun, switch it up day to day until you find a routine that fits you best.

A dog has helped me TREMENDOUSLY

I’m struggling with this but my dogs help a ton but I wish I could figure this out really an issue for me rn

Through self educating myself ie I find that researching spiritual things and writing up on them fulfils me

I encouraged others, send cards out, twice a month volunteer for a hour each, draw, write a book and therapy

Find a routine that works for you know yourself and why you do things make sure you are doing things that get you excited about life like I watch YouTube exercise learn a lot of knowledge like nutrition and music 🎶 and learn about self care and hobbies and Christian women and how to become one

I can work it's just I can't make more then three thousand a year cause of ssddi or ssdi

I'm working on a creative business that I'm passionate about. I do this around a healthy routine. I try to put my health routine first.

I also spend a lot of time sick with symptoms , researching my conditions , figuring out how to get better care , getting potential conditions diagnosed and trying to figure out how to make life more easier, access what I and my family are entitled to ( government /charity help/ equipment/respite) it seems very surprising to family and friends that it's truly a battle on the NHS to get diagnosed and treated.

I mainly read , play games on my phone, stroke my dog and watch TV. I used to knit and crochet when able and sing in a choir. It all depends what your hobbies are x

Right now, it’s a struggle. The government found me to be permanently disabled last year. Since I had surgery to remove my entire stomach and a duel hysterectomy in April, my life has been full of being ill and doctors, plus being in and out of the hospital. I’m just existing right now.

I make beautiful origami creations that I sell and give as gifts. I also help disabled and elderly members of my family on a daily basis, keeping me connected to them and giving me something to wake up for and focus on. I take my meds, go to all of my counseling appointments, and manage my self care daily.

Do things that make you happy. Find your why & make it a habit to do things that nourish that daily! Self-care is important! If possible, contribute at home, help out with whatever you can 👍 but never forget about REST & RECOVERY

Make myself new like tomboyish, and girly. I also look into my niece and future niece to keep me preoccupied.

Ive been able to stay employed by working from home. With more telecommuting options, there are more and more options out there. If able to go back to school, IT is a growing area. It is well worth the time and cost investment.

I've been doing classes and I spend time practicing what I've learnt, the more I do that makes me happy, the easier things get. Yoga, dance therapy and being in the sun have helped. I have a pretty good routine now and I'm growing in confidence more and more. Fill, then refill your cup after getting out of your comfort zone. Your cup will then refill you. 🙏

You must find something to become passionate about. I started the MS-GO event calendar which has grown into a nonprofit organization going beyond just MS, it keeps me focused, I don’t have time for MS.

I wish I knew the answer to this 🙏
