I have to renew my license before I can start again, but I contacted the team leader of my old agency and she is looking forward to talking with me. She knows my situation and was very accepting and nonjudgemental when I had to leave.

I am thinking that I could be ready to run open houses and cover for agents on vacation or help with paperwork, and once the holidays are over, start looking for clients of my own as long as I am still feeling well.

I have been very stable for the last three weeks now. I know it is not a long time, but it is a better quality feeling. I have had days before where I thought I was doing well, but this feels different. I might even say I feel normal. I can get up, clean my house, cook meals.

I truly hope that everyone here can have this feeling. This is what we are all working toward.
