I work a 40 hour work week. I come home and I'm done for the day. I rest on weekends to prep for following week. My family obligations have suffered drastically

I also work full time. Most days it's a struggle to make it thru my 8 hours. I try to pace myself and do what I need to before I sit down in the evenings. I've learned things don't have to be perfect and my house may not be Better Homes and Gardens fresh but it's not on the point of being condemned either. There's more important things in life, like your health.

This is a very difficult issue for me. I am currently holding a full time job, working 40-55 hours per week. The only way I've been able to maintain a job and sometimes keep up on housework and an occasional social life is by seeing a pain management doc. I get nerve block injections for a whiplash injury, trigger point injections, and monthly injections of Tordol which helps my headaches. I still miss at least 1 day each month, sometimes more. I didn't want to turn to a PM option but I have tried weekly massage therapy, chiropractor, and acupuncture. None of which helped long term. I would get relief for a day or two and then decline again.

I do. It's really hard, there are days I just want to walk out honestly. I have a son and daycare and rent to pay that I share with my fiancé and I just don't want to leave him with all the bills.

Hi - I am still holding down a full time job and I am fortunate enough to work from home 2 days per week. I find it exhausting on the days I go into the office I come home and go to bed. I have also adjusted my hours so that I am not driving in heavy traffic
