So I've been unemployed for three and a half years now. I do have Cystic Fibrosis as well so that was a large factor in why I gave up work but last year I started a new medication that has improved my physical health a lot so I definitely think I could work part time again. The problem is I'm terrified, I don't know how to explain such a gap in my CV or even if I have the ability to work in an office and function normally and be able to socialise normally. I found it so tough before when I did work and I didn't even know I had BPD then. I have days where getting out of bed or brushing my teeth are a huge struggle mentally, I just think I'd end up calling in sick to avoid going. I feel so useless and worthless not working though. Anyone else in the same boat?
