In March I left my employer after 19 years, wasn't my choice, never thought I would leave. Was in bits for a few days, my wife was an absolute rock. Took a risk applying for a job that I would be good interview experience.

Managed to get the job, and now am much happier. And still have a 1/3 of my redundancy payment left, and the new job pays 25%more

I, (56F), have been in a nursing home since Jan 2021. Had a massive infection in my femur and hip turn septic and flesh eating. Sine then I have trapped in bed unable to stand or even put weight on my leg. I graduated from hospice in Jan 2023, just not my time to die! Now after three months of physical and occupational therapy I can sit, stand, and transfer to my wheelchair with out help or anyone standing by. I can use the bathroom again and wheel myself all around the home. I am also strong enough to go outside as long as there are no hills!
Body has tried to die seven times in the last two and half years and the doctors have no idea whey I am still alive.

No matter what you are going through please do not ever give up. You can do anything with the right attitude and serious effort!

I'm going to the doctor's tomorrow to discuss medication! It's either anxiety or depression medication, or possibly a combo, but I think it'll help a LOT since school is overwhelming. I'll also be able to talk to her about my ADHD meds not working super well and me being scatterbrained but also really fast with my thought process, and hopefully once all the meds are balanced I can function like a normal person, and won't have to put in a ton of mental effort to get everything done :D

Got promoted at work. makes for about + 2,000/year net. Best thing is: it's for good work on some projects, but I've started the projects because I had the time and found the issues behind them interesting. So, I have more fun at work, AND got rewarded for it.

As a kid, I was taught (through others' actions) not exactly that I was *worthless* but just 'not worth any extra effort', let alone love. Struggled with that message in my head for over 30 years before I even realised what had been done to me. So this is a big thing for me.

So, I am disabled and work in a workshop for people with disabilities.
We have started an inclusion program in this workshop, which connects over 1,000 people in my region. This is intended to make it easier for people who have left due to illness to find their way back.
This is particularly difficult for people with mental illness - it is often embarrassing to make contact.The store manager really wanted to set this up with me.
He trusts my skills as a peer advisor and as a person, and that makes me really proud.

I had a tumor behind my eye. It was surgically removed and at first I couldn’t see out of it properly. Everything in that eye was at a 90 degree angle. After wearing a patch and sleeping sitting up etc this morning when I woke up both eyes were almost in sync. And , even better, the biopsy came back negative!!!

I had knee replacement surgery 18 weeks ago. Today for the first time (with my brother’s help) I lowered myself down to a yoga mat. For a few moments I had a lot of my weight on my operated knee. Scary!!!! But I was ok! I had the go-ahead from physio and doctor first so I knew in my head that I would be ok. To get back up I rolled onto my back and pushed myself into Downward Dog and walked myself up. And namaste to you too!!!

Also with getting diagnosed with possible ADHD and Autism I (and almost everyone I've asked in school) think I have.

My parents have never let me skip grades in school. But I've always found schoolwork too easy. So, because of the help of dual enrollment and me doing two grades this year, I'm in week four of school and half done with an entire grade. I'll be slower on the next grade. I've worked so, so hard and still maintained entirely "A"s and "A+"s and because of it I can go to college at fourteen years old. I can graduate vet school at only twenty-two because of it, and for once in my life... I'm proud.

For once in your life??? You have so much to be proud of! And, btw, being proud of your accomplishments is not bad as long as you keep a realistic perspective. EVERYONE is excellent at SOMETHING and you are excellent at learning. (Remember that as you meet others in your journey, and especially if and when you make a family.) But that is not all you are. Stay interested. Be a student of life. And be thankful your parents didn’t let you skip too early- there is something to be said for time spent being a kid with others your own age. It will be more valuable to you later when you are able to look back.
