I work too. I have to suffer with various aliments/afflictions which while I have made worse, initially I didn't bring upon myself. I wish I could go back to working and feeling good as my old self. Wish I didn't have to deal with mental health.
No one really acknowledges my struggle- maybe they shouldn't I don't know. Someone had to be born a Phillies- no one says "thank you" or redeems me for taking the burden- its my own cross to bear. And maybe no one should. I don't know.
