went part-time three months ago bc full-time was killing me. pharmacy tech work is all feet and movement for eight hours straight, impossible to pace right. pain-wise it’s better. not spiking to a 7-8 by friday anymore, holding around 4-5 instead. idk, my routine actually works. but i dropped from 2k a month to 1200. rent’s 1100. then insurance, food, car. the math doesn’t work. and here’s the thing - the money stress is triggering flares almost as much as the overtime was. like, i finally got the pacing right and my body can handle it, but my nervous system is just… stuck in financial panic mode instead. can’t get disability benefits either. apparently you have to prove you can’t work any job, not that this specific job is impossible. so i’m stuck. better pain management but i can’t afford it. is anyone else in this middle? like, how do you actually make part-time work when the pay doesn’t cover basics?
