I was injured in a accident. And now live in constant pain at some level. I have been unable to return to my work. My skill set is such that although I am looking for another type of work that can accommodate my limitations. So far, I have not been hired. Of course, yes, I am concerned that that I may not be up to the new job. Way I see it only way to find out is to go and see.
I'm not feeling pitiful, whoever suggested that. I do get sad and its normal, I get mostly angry at myself and life in general. If you think that's wrong. Get over it., because I think that its normal also. Again, I appreciate the kindness and help I have received. I just never thought, and I guess who does and no one is ever ready or prepared on how to deal with debilitating injury. Onward through it all to wherever it goes.

@betterway Your range of emotions are very normal. Been there, done that, anger and all, I relate to you. Again, how are you handling your emotions so they don't beat you up further and intensify your chronic pain? Is Connect your only outlet?

You are faced with difficult life changes and needing support is ok. Do you write down your feelings? Journaling thoughts is therapeutic. Writing down your biggest fears or anger can be a healthy mental release. Also, distraction is incredibly valuable. Digging down deep to find what brings you joy and seeking it out can help shift your focus. Baby steps towards realizing you're worth it. This is a process, a learning curve, and takes time to willfully gain acceptance. I'm rooting for you and am here to support you.

In what ways might you find joy today?
