Blog Subject:  New Job

I had a training day yesterday for a new job. This is the first work I have done since I went of sick 5 years ago after a suicide attempt. I honestly never thought I would get to this point, and I think my team also felt the same. I am so pleased to have proved us all wrong. It was a very difficult training day and I really had to exercise my brain and also people skills but I got through it. It is only occasional work but it is a really good place to start. Plus it is wonderful to be in a position to give back to ppl rather than always taking. It is working in a team of 3 assessing services provided by a large MH charity and feeding this back. It certainly seems quite hardcore but I think I am going to really enjoy it. And I am so so so pleased to be getting back at work. I know it is not a full time job working as an anaesthetist but in a way I feel the achievement of getting here is more so that when I was working as a Dr. I dont know what the future is going to bring but this is a really good start.

Huge hugs

Congradulations

Can now see the finish line ? If so what it looks like ?

And if the job is a really good start, what have the last four years been ?

Thank you.

The last few years have been a massive healing time for me and brought a lot of things that are important to me such as the forum. By start I think I meant more a start with paid work which is something I have not been able to do up til now. But yeah it is a good reminder to me that other things have importance as well.

This is really great news Cracked. Good luck and everything. Let me know what it's like to actually get paid for your work so I can take notes! ;)

Seriously though, awesome news. Hope it goes well for you and everything.
