I just got fired from my job for taking too much time off because of my CFS/Long Covid. I have No idea what I’m going to do now. Disability takes a year or more to get, unemployment only lasts 6 months. How am I supposed to survive??? How is there no institutionalized support in the U.S. for people like us? We are forced into these horrible situations where we can either take care of our health or work just to scrape by. And I know it’s not just us, so many people here are injured on the job and then the job refuses to pay so they get even worse! What the hell? How is this country even real? /end rant
