    I feel a great energy motivating me to look at some university/university level courses. 😊 To do social things. To start up all the projects I have planned.

    But I need to rest and get my grounding first. I haven’t even unpacked and I still have to look after stressed out Bill

      I reckon you’d enjoy uni, you have a great mind for it imo I’m so excited for you to try all the things!

      But yes, definitely take some time for yourself before committing to anything; one thing I noticed when I got free is when I’d try to do too much I’d crash so hard, and I didn’t know why. I’d bawl my eyes out scream crying for no real reason (now I know I was triggered and hadn’t been diagnosed with anything but depression at that time). It can come whenever, wherever, so pace yourself. But you also know yourself better than I do, so do what you feel will help your healing the most :)

      So take time to rest, ground yourself, self-care, and treat yourself to something you consider decadent or fancy. You deserve it after pulling out this Great Escape!

        Thank you. 😊

        I love uni and studying.

        I wanna do some classical archeology, I have a clinical psych unit I want to do, art work courses, some writing courses

        I also need to get some certs for work but I’m old and don’t even know if it’s worth it. Will talk to a career recruiter to see what people want

          Ive a friend I’m pretty sure is older than you working in palliative care support work. Being kind to people in their last days. It’s rough and rewarding work. But mostly she’s older than you, did certs, got work.

            I was thinking a care support volunteer for veterans with ptsd

            maybe I can work in the field instead?

              I’ve got a few subjects left in my support worker course (NDIS/Aged) if you want to discuss it at all.
