Many who live with a chronic illness
Are unable to work
I am still quite young in my life
And absolutely love my job
I’m living in my perfect career
But then chronic illness got in the way
I do my absolute best to hide it
To act like I used to
However it is just not possible
It interferes with everything I do
From forgetting simple tasks
To being unable to do certain jobs
I can no longer work through it
Once I hit the wall I have to stop
I’m not able to achieve as much
As I used to be able to do
But I still try my best at work
I have to stay within my new limits
And go at my own slower pace
To manage my symptoms
I have to do these things
To make sure I can stay in work
To prove I can still do my job
Just slower than I used to
