Good morning,

As the end of the summer nears, the unemployment booster is going away. I initially ended up on unemployment due to mental illness and now my extension period is running out.

Not only do I not know what what kind of work to do to have the flexibility to manage my illness, I am having terrible anxiety thinking about applying and interviewing. I have children so I feel even more pressured to get a high paying, FULL TIME job. Since the pandemic I’ve lost all social skills. I also don’t want to tell my boss or coworkers about my BPD…

Is there anyone else having a hard time going back to work? What are you doing to juggle BPD and holding down a job?
