[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This OP. Thank you all for your responses. To answer some of your questions…

-[b] I have a chronic illness which prevented me from working at all while raising my 3 kids (I had trouble even doing that) so a part-time gig is all I can handle.[/b]

-The remote requirement has to do with the above, as well.

Working on my PhD was possible because the pace was pretty slow and I could set it in ways that worked with my health issues. Mothering was tough and I did have to have some help because I was sick so much of the time.

My youngest just started school this year and know I can meaningfully contribute to the workforce. I know there are many people who are entirely well and vying for the same positions. I can be just as productive if the conditions are right.

I know it’s asking an employer a lot to give me a chance, but I doubt one will. It’s like being disabled but with a chronic disease it is an invisible disability.[/quote]

I don’t understand how you can birth and raise three children, but you’re too sick to be gainfully employers?

Op, your story doesn’t add up.  You chose to have three kids.  Then you chose to remain out of work for a decade.  Now you’re saying you can work but only PT and remotely?

OP, I’d suggest you see a doctor.  You likely have some anxiety or something going on.  There’s likely no reason you can’t have a normal job.  Why so much hesitation to simply go to work?  I’d try to figure out what is driving this.  If you don’t want to work, that’s fine.  But saying you’d like to have a job but can’t leave the house for this job is crazy.
