Hi All! -- It's been awhile since I've last posted to any boards here. I used to suffer from Fibromyalgia, but have for the most part, healed myself of that syndrome (no easy task!).
My problem now, is that I now have hypothyroidism, adrenal fatigue, low ferritin levels, and I'm dealing with the sex hormone changes that go along with perimenopause. I'm basically a wreck! I can barely function on most days as I'm so horribly fatigued and foggy brained.
My biggest issue, is one of survival, in this economy. I run a small landscape design business here in S. Calif.. I live on my own and support myself. Being as I'm feeling quite poorly now, I'm not able to work too much, PLUS there is very little work to be had, as the industry is very slow right now. That said, I need to find some work that I can do from home ASAP, or where I can set my own hours and go in during my few "good hours". I'd really like to avoid having to go on disability as it's just not my style (and I wouldn't even know if that's possible, being as I'm self-employed....and if it is possible, I'm sure I would get very little compensation, as my company is fairly new and I have not made much yet). I'm feeling a bit lost. In addition, I do not have any family to fall back on. I'm totally on my own.
My question: Does anyone know of an organization or service that can assist me in finding a legitimate job like this? Part-time or temporary would probably be best, although I'd consider the right full-time job considering my circumstances. I'm not sure how long it will take me to recover. Or are there other services that could be of help in any way? I'm feeling pretty scared about my future!
Thanks so very much, and wishing everyone the best! :-)
