@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member My careers consultant want's me to stay out of retail now and get a office based role. I did study for it a few years ago so I'm going for admin assistant roles then seeing where things go from there.

It's understandable to feel exhausted and need some down time, especially with epilepsy. Pacing yourself and listening to your body's needs is so important.

Jak, I was out of work for eight months and last month was then last month was when I started these four hour shifts with the store I’ve had two weeks so far I’ve been five day weeks one that’s been three weeks. I mean three days and next week actually three days due to the holiday all these weeks combine I still haven’t gotten used to everything as far as my body goes, and I don’t know why it hasn’t yet, but it seems like it’s getting worse instead of better

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member Sorry to hear that. I will say one thing there was a work colleague I worked with a long time ago he was doing 10-15 hrs a week he seemed fine but in the end, he only last 2 years because he was having major issue fatigue issues. Whether he also has epilepsy or not I'm not. Don't take this the wrong way but I feel it is a very similar situation to what you are going through at the moment the major difference is yours is alot worse.
