I’ve been out of work for over 3 months with Lyme Desease Carditis, the rehab from it is a lot like a heart attack, but on top of that I have the Lyme fatigue.
I had to go back to work this week even though I don’t feel even close to ready because I ran out of money. Auto payments got returned last week and rent is coming up again quick.
I had to go back to work, I put in two fuckin days, one an 11 hour shift and one an 8 hour shift then tested positive for Covid about an hour ago meaning I’m not gonna be able to pay for a bunch of things. Being out of work has made me not want to work again ever but I need to because our healthcare system is a disaster and cost me over 8k just in hospital bills.
Before getting sick I’d been working night shift (8pm-6am) for around 8 years straight, so long that I didn’t even realize what it was doing to my health. I just hate it here, we need real change soon.
