A burden ? Sometimes I can't stop thinking that I am a burden to princess. Will my illness cut me off short , how will she survive alone ? When I worked the high steel welding before disability, I felt a part of something, now I see a broken down man , a loser sometimes I think it's going to win. It hurts. I often don't feel worthy of princesses love. Why would she want to accept me to journey through this life with me. Over and over again I question myself. All the scenarios over and over. I have always had an over concern for her welfare even though I know that she is ok.

I think many of us feel sharply the loss of gainful employment. My own capacity for work has been limited by OCD, though I've managed to do a bit. I still feel like a scrounger.
Much of our self esteem and self image is built around our work. It's a big part of who we are, and if we lose it, it can feel like we've lost an essential part of ourselves. It's also how we present to other people. They think of us as an engineer, a nurse, a plumber or whatever. And in addition, work plays a big part in our social lives. It gains us colleagues, friends, social networks, and in some case partners.
Try not to feel too down about it. It sounds as though you have a good relationship with your partner, who chooses to be with you. She no doubt knows the real you, beyond the status, the public image, and that's the man she has chosen to be with.
