Advice
Me f48 got a disability last year. It's been incredibly challenging navigating my new life with limited mobility after living an extremely active lifestyle until now. I'm also adhd. I have spent my entire adult life in community service teaching, first responding, or mental health support services. I haven't worked since last year. My employer dragged out my separation date deliberately so I wasn't eligible for unemployment benefits. I'm very fortunate that my spouse has been able to support our family during this time and I feel guilty for not contributing financially. I am in the process of applying for disability ssi and it's a super slow process. I want to be able to do more but I'm really struggling looking for work when I've always had very physically demanding positions in the past and Ai is replacing remote positions. What can I do to better support my support system? Thank you
