Hello ladies and gents, I'm 24YO working 2 jobs remotely (day and night shift). I'm the only provider for my 57 yo mom and 12 yo down syndrome sister. My dad passed away last yr due to covid. If I will not work my 2nd job, I'll not be able to save for myself as my main income just goes to all expenses.
Yesterday, when I was outside after eating in a restaurant and buying a book, I suddenly lost balance and can't stand up.. It was terriying and was shocked I cant stand up.. my legs just can't stand on its own..
Now I went to a doctor and said that I was overweight (i had developed binge eating habits when I'm stressed) not enough body movements as I work 12-16 hours per day infront of computer doing 2 jobs..
Job 1, I'm already 2 years with them steady pay and can talk to management how you feel but the hustle culture is so tiring it dreads my inner being. You'll receive texts emails from different people day and night basically limited boundary to work and life.
Job 2- I just started with them and pay is double compared to job 1… Though I am kinda scared that I might not be able to sustain the job as I am not yet experienced in the field….
I think this is my wake up call to take care of myself.
