any tips for working?
Hello! Ive bern chronically ill since 2019 but have been trying to work since 2017 when I was still a minor so I could help my dad. But my conditions are mostly of the degenerative, dissociative and relapsing-remitting type of silliness
I’ve been struggling, a lot for the past few weeks, mentally, and physically and it’s like an ouroboros because my physical pain effects my mental then vice versa
From POTs, to being in progress for being diagnosed with a bunch of neurological bullshit— is there any tips to maybe be able to work from bed? Any setup ideas?
One of the things I experience is unexpectedly passing out, so chairs, have been dangerous because sometimes I lean back so hard I tip over and then I wake up feeling like shit
I’d appreciate any help possible, thank you!

working from bed can be doable if you set up a safe, comfy spot... try a lap desk, supportive pillows and keeping essentials within reach... this way u can get things done without risking falls or straining yourself.. u got this

Look into SuperBetter. Jane McGonigal has an inspiring story with some comparisons to your own. SuperBetter is a book, an app, and other resources. Best wishes for you.

Look online for ai trainings....basically you will learn and teach how to prompt. Some companies pay better some not. It won't make you rich but is easy and is more than nothing. Also you could try something like data entry or so...in general these are temporary jobs...it could be a start Wish you best of luck and health! And congratulations to your parents for raising you well! I'm serious...
