I'm getting so burnt out. I have fibromyalgia, cPTSD that was "treated" but has been resurfacing again recently, chronic hand/elbow pain that isn't considered carpal/cubital tunnel syndrome and likely undiagnosed ADHD (its been kind of on the back burner to get this looked into more). I have been working part-time (20-24hr a week) for almost 3 years and have been getting ever closer to wanting to quit even though the job I have is very low-energy most days (front desk job). I feel really terrible about it, but if I didn't have pets or the need for pain-management (ice packs, otc pain relief, ect), diet and transportation, I would have left.. I've been going to appointments regularly, physical therapy, various mental health therapies, psychiatry/medication, rhumetology, acupuncture, chiropractor, trying supplements, sleep study, cardiologist.. I'm sure many others understand the feeling of exhaustion of trying so hard and only getting worse. I feel like I wouldn't ever be able to work full-time and I'm not suitable for any type of work without hurting myself in one way or another. I'm sure I should try to get on disability but I don't even know where to start.. I'm so tired of it all. I just want to rest for a very long time.. if anyone has suggestions or information, I welcome them
