Thanks @Oaktree for the reassurance. I've reflected on your previous post and hope there is a positive response to your letter. What I take from this is your courage which is there whether or not the response is positive.

Thanks so much, yes I do recognise that just sending the letter was a brave thing. However I am a bit worried about the consequences.

Hey @L-B ,
Sorry to hear that you feel a bit hemmed in with your circumstances.
What do you hope to achieve from work? Is it purely financial, or are there other considerations?
Whilst work can pay a few bills, if you don't find fulfillment, you may be future burning yourself out. However, if you find the work meaningful and energising, then it may aid your recovery.
Thoughts?

Hi @tyme , it would be nice if I found work meaningful and energising. Maybe it might have been at a time. I don't seem to know what I want from work...work provides some basic structure, financial and social function which is good...I am rambling...mostly I am either pushing myself or dragging myself around but I put in a great effort not to show this.

Maybe it's the 'wrong' fit in terms of the role? @L-B
Maybe we can brainstorm some other ideas?
I flick through jobs every night. I get sent emails from Jora Jobs and I just like to see what's out there and what people are looking for. I wonder if flicking through these will help you find something that sparks your interest?

Yes, I flick through ads as well @tyme on Seek and Jora. I think I prefer self employment but I keep searching in case there is something more suitable.

Yeah, just something to keep an eye out for. Doesn't mean you have to apply @L-B
I find the job market so interesting lol... maybe I need to go into HR and recruitment lol
