Disability in the Workplace

Description
*Please forgive my bad editing skills at the beginning* In this episode, I speak about my struggle to find meaningful work and how working can be hard for those with mental health disabilities. I haven't worked since mid-2020 and not working causes me a lot of anxiety, but trying to find a job that works for my physical and mental limitations is incredibly hard for me to find. A lot of people have a lot of opinions about why people choose not to work, but I honestly think working just doesn't seem fulfilling to some people and we could benefit a lot more from community based activities rather than trying to find a job to fill our days. Towards the end of this episode I speak a little more openly about my own thoughts and struggles so I hope this helps you to know that you are not alone if you are in the same boat. Life is hard my friends, so feel free to reach out on my instagram @journey.bound if you feel like you need someone to talk to. I'm not an expert about this topic but I try to speak openly and honestly so hopefully something in this is meaningful to you.
