As a lot of you know, I've been going through the worst depressive episode of my life, to the point where I had decided to hospitalize myself. My sister talked me into filling the SNRI prescription I had been given and made an appointment with my psych instead. I should have been on meds this whole time, to be honest, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it until a couple of weeks ago. I'm glad I did; I'll never let my mental health get away from me like that again, I can say that almost for sure. Things aren't perfect, but I'm feeling much better... I even got dumped last week, and it only bothered me for an hour or two.
Aaaaand...
I got a job! Like, a really amazing one! It's for a not-for-profit working with developmentally disabled adults teaching them how to make things they can sell. Five interviews, a session with the people I'll be working with, and tons of paperwork later, they offered me the job. Now, I have to get a TB test, a drug test, fingerprinted, a background check, and my class B driver's license (well, permit to start), and as long as all of that goes well, I'll start work a week from Monday. It pays pretty well, and I'll have full benefits after three months! I've figured out the bus route too, and it's really easy- only about 45 minutes' commute each way. I'm nervous and anxious (the new meds have been giving me anxiety in spades), but I thrive on challenges most of the time, so I'm looking forward to it.
I just want to thank you guys for your support in my crazy time. You are amazing and beautiful people.
That's fantastic, ma'am!
Glad to have you back, especially knowing that things are turning around for you.
