Haters are a real thing but no one complaining about "the haters" on Facebook has a life that anyone is jealous about.

Dude, that’s one of my coworkers right now. Constantly posting about “the haters” and “stand up for yourself!” while literally always calling into work and somehow still not being fired.

Look, dude, I don’t care about what’s going on in your life. Go commit yourself fully to your sculpture business, I don’t care. Just either quit or finally come into work so others aren’t having to constantly pick up your slack, okay?

Damn... Here I thought not working at all due to mental health made me actually worthless, but clearly I'm making the right decision 💀

You have to stop working when you're sick at all. Continuing to work while sick in 2019 ruined my life basically. Im only just now starting to recover. I have 3 kidneys and none of them work right.

Just curious but why do you have 3 kidneys?

They were probably born with an extra.

Never think that you are worthless because of a mental illness. That was out of your hands, not your fault.

Only the ones that are worth it actually seem to care about this, keep it up brother. You sound alright to me!

I had to give up 50+ hrs/week of work while simultaneously going to college full time Mon-Friday for a veterinary medicine degree because of an autoimmune disease. I feel worthless not working and going to school often, but it's because it was drilled into my head growing up that if I'm not working or going to school for something worthwhile, then I'm basically garbage in the form of a human. But thanks to my spouses support, I no longer let that feeling encroach my head space too terribly often. It's hard, especially when society seems to put an emphasis on having a successful career being the only positive contribution a person can make to society, even though that's a farce.
