So I work as a bakery clerk/ decorator at Publix. Even with my sick days, work leaves me unable to walk when I get home. I use a cane at work but it's not enough support. I can't use my rollator because there isn't room, and the nature of the job doesn't allow for any aid other than my cane. I love my job, but I hate being in bed for days after.

For context, I have T1D, hEDS, MCAS, and POTS

I had to quit school because of my health, and all of the remote jobs I keep looking at require some sort of experience. My only skills are physical labor, but my body can't sustain that. I feel so stuck where I am. Bakeries aren't accessible to work in at all but I love what I do. I'm really upset that I can't do what I love without pain.

Is there anyone else that has gone through something like this? How did you find work? Are there any free certifications or something that I can do? I'm only 22, and I feel like I'm already destined to be destitute because of my illnesses. I'm okay with office jobs or remote work, I just want to be able to make money to pay for these dumb ailments I have and still have money for rent.
