I am a maintenance laborer working in an extremely stressful environment. It’s a physical and mental strain in every way, and I’m stuck because I can’t even get an interview anywhere, despite being well-educated with multiple degrees. I have no support system or family to help. My own Dad actually turned me away.
I have endo, fibromyalgia, PMDD and PCOS all diagnosed. It all has gotten 100x worse, especially since having a laparoscopy in December. I feel like I am becoming disabled and wondering how much suffering could be ahead of me in life.
I feel alone in my circumstances. When I read posts on here everyone seems to work from home or has a partner or family to help and sometimes I get off Reddit feeling even worse. I hate to delve into self pity but it’s hard when I’m realizing the urgency of my circumstances. I’m afraid of becoming homeless as I’m just scraping by.
I just want someone to relate to.
I’m sure some people will mention FMLA but I am already well acquainted and almost out of hours already.
