Antiwork

Thank you modern society for forcing me to prioritze job over my health!

I have a genetic hormonal disease and have gotten clear instructions from my doctor to reduce stress and focus on heavy physical exercise each day (like a alot not just a 20 minute powerwalk). If not it can spiral out of control and give me a whole host of symptoms. Of course hormonal treatment is an option but the side effects can be just as bad or worse, plus it's expensive. In the best of worlds a part time job ideally with as little stress as possible would benefit me tremendously (to have time to focus on exercise/healing) but as a 20 something individual in todays society, that will probably never happen. With the cost of living skyrocketing while every company has set out to profit as much as possible while workers are underpaid and demanded to give more than 100 % work effort how is anyone suppose to function?…

I know my case isn't unique but it SUCKS being forced to chose between my health and a job knowing damn well each day which decision should be the right one..
