Hiya 🕊️

I lost my job in April and I have been really struggling to find work. Also, I’m chronically ill and I’m limited by the kinds of jobs I could do. I’m really broke and sad. 😢

I'm so sorry to hear about your situation. Losing your job and struggling to find work can be extremely hard, and being ill on top of that can add an extra layer of stress and uncertainty. It's understandable to feel sad and overwhelmed.


One thing to keep in mind is that this is a difficult time for many people, and you're not alone in feeling this way. It's important to be kind to yourself and take care of your mental and physical health as much as you can, even in the face of these challenges.


In terms of finding work, it may be helpful to consider your skills and interests, and brainstorm creative solutions to find employment that fits your needs and circumstances. You may want to explore freelance or remote work opportunities, or reach out to organizations or support groups that specialize in helping folks with chronic illnesses find employment.


It's also important to remember that you have value and worth, regardless of your employment status. You might find it helpful to reconnect with your support network, including friends, family, and any supportive community you might be a part of. Sharing your experiences with others who understand can be a great source of comfort and encouragement.


Remember that you are a resilient and resourceful person, and you have the ability to navigate these challenges and find your way forward. Take it one step at a time, and be kind to yourself as you move forward.

Love ♥️ and Courage 🦁, Tas 🌹

I hate to hear that you lost your job. It sounds like you have limited opportunities due to your disability. I'm sure this is discouraging, especially when it's difficult to find work.

What kind of work are you able to do?

There are a lot of positions these days that are available remote. I'm not sure where you are from, but there are some job sites online as well that tend to cater to more remote opportunities. Typically a search online can provide those leads.

I hope you will find something soon.
