No real job
I have a job as a warm line operator. It is kind of like being a listener. Only it's peer to peer support. I do not do the good work I do on here since it is not anonymous. I don't get to be able to have a client open up as I do here
But anyways I was an sccountant and I had a job that paid well. Being a Warmlines operator pays crap it is mostly volunteer. And it is part time. Being bipolar I have had my trouble keeping a full time job. And it is difficult being on Social Security Disability. It is not easy feeling knowing I could do more and don't.
@PigfaceMcGee513 sometimes our only choices are (1) dreaming of something and (2) a whole lot of nothing. Hang in there.

I know it is hard to struggle financially and make both ends meet every month.
But you story reminded me a story I've read somewhere: Of a pedlar, coming from door to door, selling very thick and richly illustrated encyclopaedias. He became a therapist and he regretted he had had such a low-tier job earlier. Until he met one of his patients, and she said to him that her family home was a sad and dark place. But she had been always happy to read this large, colourful book - and this was one of his encyclopaedias...
You never know. Sometimes a small candle can make a difference between darkness and light...
