Article: . If you're still coming to terms with or learning about your diagnosis, consult a relevant practitioner about what they consider to be appropriate work for your condition. Depending on your unique situation, a doctor, therapist, or occupational health professional may be entirely supportive of your decision to find employment. Employment, despite the rigors and routine involved, typically has a strong positive influence on the outlook of someone with an illness or condition and often assists in the path to recovery, or at the very least the effective management of illnesses. Family, friends and trusted peers can also be immensely valuable in offering advice about what's out there or as an outside perspective to what they believe you can achieve. Like anyone, the opinions of those we listen to play a major role in our decisions and ideally will also be a source of encouragement and support. Your long-term medical condition may fit the legal definitions of a disability. The Americans with Disabilities Act defines a disability as a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more of your major life activities. In the EU, the European Accessibility Act requires employers to make reasonable accommodations for disabled persons in the workplace. If your condition qualifies as a disability, you are protected under federal laws from outright discrimination. In the majority of nations, employers are prohibited from discriminating against disabled persons in the workplace, as well as disabled applicants. Your medical condition may limit your physical abilities in some ways. For instance, if you have rheumatoid arthritis you may not be able to work in a position that requires you to spend the majority of your workday typing or writing. Or, you may be suffering from a chronic condition, like a mental illness, that does not present itself through physical symptoms. In this case, you may not be limited in physical ways. Your condition will likely change over time, either improving during the course of treatment or through the natural process of degeneration. Throughout your job search process, take note of any worsening or lessening of your symptoms for your own records. If you begin to experience any worsening in your symptoms, mental or physical, consult a medical professional. Legally, employers in the United States and many other countries must provide reasonable accommodations for employees with disabilities. There are a number of different accommodations that employers might make for your particular circumstances, like offering short breaks to manage pain or fatigue or providing a secure and safe place to store medication.  Your potential employers are not required to provide accommodations that are significantly difficult or expensive to provide. For instance, it is most likely unreasonable to ask for a car to take you to and from work, while asking for time off for dialysis treatments would be reasonable.  If you are unsure of what kinds of accommodations you are entitled to, or how to ask for them, you can contact an agency like the Job Accommodation Network. Check to see if your federal government offers a similar service to answer questions about disability legislation. . The jobs that you will ultimately look for should take your goals, your past work experience, and your medical condition into account. It's important to understand the nature of your illness and what it may restrict you from doing; this is often more easily defined for people with a physical illness or disability than someone experiencing prolonged mental illness. For instance, a person with a recurring spinal injury would know not to work in physical labor or other physically demanding roles; however, it is not as obvious for someone suffering from  bipolar disorder as to what they should or should not do. The right job for you should also take into account your education, your past jobs, and your professional skills. You may have been gainfully employed prior to your diagnosis and wish to return to a similar role. Or, you may want to make a career change and look for positions in different industries that are compatible with your skills. Continuing education courses, either online or through a local school, are a good way to stay up to date on changes in your industry and to make you a more desirable candidate. Working in an office or corporate space may be your goal, or you may be open to more flexible options, like telecommuting or working remotely. You can look for positions that offer remote employment that would allow you to work from home or from an office depending on your needs.  An employer may also offer flexible working hours, like the option to work from 7-3 or 12-8, so you can set and make your medical appointments as needed. Working from home can be a great option for many people with long-term medical conditions whose situations benefit from the flexibility that remote work can afford. You may find that becoming self-employed, like freelancing or starting your own business, works best with your needs. While starting and running a business can be a stressful endeavor, it may be right for you. When you are self-employed, you may find that this flexibility complements your situation.

You don’t need your phone to capture the world around you. To remember your vacation and share those memories with others, you can grab a disposable camera or bring a Polaroid camera. The latter type of camera has come back into style. Some of the new styles even allow you to take photos on sticker paper, and others have a digital component where you can save the file before you print it out, allowing you to have both a physical and a digital copy.  Alternatively, you could seek out a photo booth. Many tourist spots – and even some stores – have a photo booth so you can capture fun memories. While most require cash, some now take credit cards. Buy a waterproof disposable camera if you would like to take pictures near a body of water. There’s an artist hiding inside you! Take the time to observe and transfer what you see to paper. Let others see your vacation through your eyes, or keep the drawings to yourself. Start by doing quick sketches - spend five minutes committing the scene to paper. Don’t worry about getting every detail.  Try blind contour drawings. To do this type of drawing, avoid looking at the paper. Look only at the subject. Keep your pen or pencil on the paper, and give yourself over to creativity. You’ll get an abstract image, but the more you do, the more life you’ll breathe into your drawings.   Take home rubbings. This technique is very popular at old historic sites and cemeteries. Lay a piece of paper over a hard surface, then rub a stick of chalk, charcoal, or even a crayon over the surface to get an imprint of what’s on the other side. Writing can give you a chance to think about what you’re doing, allowing you a fuller, more rounded experience. A journal can help you remember a funny conversation you overheard or something you’ve never seen before. It doesn’t take long to make a note about something unique, and the time you spend writing will provide you time to reflect on the enjoyment you’re having.  You can bring a journal with you or buy one on location if you’re looking for some local flair.  Jot down thoughts about your vacation as they occur to you. Pen an essay. You can keep it to yourself or even share it as a blog post once you’re home again. Write poetry. Allow the inspiration from your new surroundings to fill you up.
