A little backstop. I am a disabled, but very young veteran. I have a lot of pain issues after an accident and will need surgery soon. I work as a phlebotlmist and love what I do. I am also fulltime in college for Nuclear Engineering, which I also love.
But recently its been hard. I do not NEED to work. I make VA disability and am paid to go to school. I would live a very comfortable life without working until I start my Nuclear Engineering career.
But I am always in pain. I haven't really taken a break to take care of myself and want to. I feel a lot of shame about not working though. I get easily depressed when I'm not working. I feel like I want to stop work for now until I finish college in 3 years cause its a bit too much on my body. What do you all think? How do you get over the shame?
