Thanks, Terry....You've really got the picture, don't you?! Yep, the same kinds of comments here when I was on disability. I do have good disability insurance. My income might even go up on disability, because of the gradual decline in the income I can make now.
You hit the nail on the head. If I can be a professor decently at 70 or 80 hours a week, is that ok? Or is that a picture of someone who is disabled but working so hard to compensate that she may wind up killing herself? Others are shocked that my thoughts are turning to disability, but I live with the effects of this workstyle on my health, my own happiness, and my children's lives.
Weirdly, my doctor does not bring it up, and when I try to talk to him about work, he says he doesn't know how to help me. I belive he really is telling the truth-- he just doesn't know.
I don't know either. But I'm painfully, desperately tired, and I've been this way for 7 years, pretty much constantly. When is it enough, y'all?
ARGH. Hard to talk about, isn't it?
