How Has Losing Your Job/Work Affected You?

MyCounterpane has reunited with Heather Leffel once again to ask an important question that is a challenging aspect of living with a chronic illness such as multiple sclerosis: employment.

Whether you had a career you loved or a part-time job that helped pay the bills, losing a job can have an immense effect on your wellbeing and lifestyle. This is true under regular circumstances, but especially true if you're already living with a chronic illness that affects your life in so many other ways.

Therefore, we ask:
