I am currently seeking employment and I am feeling the same feelings this woman felt. I'm excited to do research and reading on how to overcome these feeling. It's nice to know I'm not alone in feeling inadequate and overwhelmed at finding a job that suits my illness. I have learned to gradually ease myself back into work. Sometimes when I'm feeling well and I 'fly' into a full-time, energy sapping job and end up having to quit because my health can't withstand it. I know now to enter work more gradually and with full honesty to my employer about my specific health needs. I've also learned to find something that keeps me passionate about life and involved so I have a balance healthy distraction from my illness. Thanks again for the very helpful post!
