Is It Possible To Go Back To Work After Being Off For Over A Year And A Half ? Still Not Fully Mentally Stable !
A MyDepressionTeam Member asked a question šŸ’­

I have been off work for over a year and a half now and i'm 50y old with no children. I'm still feeling very depressed and anxious and been diagnose with BPD many years ago although I don't believe I have it, I think I might also be bipolar 2.

I'm in the exact same situation. The only thing that I can do and the best thing that I can do is leave it in God's hands.

@A MyDepressionTeam Member I'm in a similar position, have been out of work for a number of years due to depression and anxiety but now I need to work. I'm hoping to get out of the field I was in as I hated the office politics. But I also feel scared when I think of going back to work. Sending hugs..

I'm 50..Been trying to get disability for 6 yrs..I also have zero income. I live off the generosity of my parents (Although, I don't live with them thank goodness) and I hate it. I often thought about trying to get another job, but I know I could never work 40 hrs a week + what would be needed for me to survive. Like someone else here said, I can barely manage daily tasks. How could manage a 8-12 hr day? It scares me to think what would happen to me if I lose my hearing again. I also have no children..one brother who I barley speak to and really no other support. I know how you feel . The future is a scary place. That's why I try to live one day at a time. Figure it out as I go. I have to hand it over to God's hands.

I hope you start to feel better. I haven't been able to work since 2001. Health issues kept me from working. But I know a lot of what you are feeling. It's a struggle always to me. I get up every morning and pray I make it through the day.
