i am the sole architect (i can't forget)
Friday, March 21st, 2014 11:00 amI got a job.
Not only that, but I'm working in a mental health field as a peer.
More details to come in a locked entry, but I just wanted everyone to know... after 7 years out of the workforce, a new chronic illness, four surgeries, living with my parents for 5 years, being declared disabled by SSA---
I'm working. I get up, I go to the center, and they're overjoyed to see me. My feedback is valued, my foibles are tolerated with compassion, and any accommodation requests are filled with alacrity and met with immediate acceptance.
I can't explain how much the opportunity for meaningful work means to me. It's revitalized my hopes for the future.
