Hello Sarah,
When I speak of choice internally, I speak of how "you" view yourself, not your employer. Do "you" believe that you are being as productive as possible given your circumstances? It sounds as if you are giving it your all to be what your employer wants given your IBS, however, in "their" eyes you may be falling short. It's what "you" know is true for you. That's all we have control of. Unfortunately, we cannot transfer this challenging journey of having IBS to anyone else to virtually experience so they can become more compassionate in understanding what we are going through. So, you're absolutely right Sarah, it's not your fault that you've been dealt this hand of IBS, it's not your fault that others may not understand and be patient with your healing.
I guess what I'm saying is do your best to not allow "big brother" to dictate your value in the world. And that is the internal shift I was referring to;what thoughts you choose to believe about yourself. That is the only thing we do have control over.
I hope this clarifies a bit of where I'm coming from. And who knows, you may be able to create or find a career that respects and gives you the freedom to be all of who you are...a person of tremendous value with a huge heart and a drive to always give her best! I will hold that good intention for you. Thanks for asking me to clarify Sarah.
Take good care, Alicia
