I have a new disability and am unfit to work, and only when taking a breath with this could I pursue hobbies (those I could do with this disability), go to medical appointments etc during the weekdays, and manage my stress levels!! Woo!! But all I got from friends/family was “but when are you going back? You can't not work.” Sure I COULD work part-time with this condition, but I need and prefer to focus on me! How do I tackle the judgement?
