I am a 28yo F from the UK and have always had problems with sustaining full time, or even part time really, work partly due to my chronic physical health issues as well as discrimination/ableism due to being autistic. I have never been able to work out why, but even jobs I secure that are flexible I seem to struggle doing the work in. It makes me feel stupid not being able to do the work in many of the jobs I've been in, and I know I'm not. I am very good at research, attention to detail, organising myself and writing for just an example of a few strengths. Anyhoo, it is tiring being seen as lesser than by strangers… family… probably even a few “friends”… because of not being able to hold down a conventional job for very long. I am fed up of your worth as a person being measured by whether you work or not, whether you have a job title next to your name on social media or not. 🤦‍️
