Hello all

It's been quite while since I've been around this forum. I've been very busy getting my life put back together again. I've worked very very hard.

Today, I am medication free. I've been stable for months and am going back to work after being off for 4 years.

To my nursing buddies who know I've struggled about what to do with my career. I"M GOING BACK. Why shouldn't I continue with what I love the most. I'm stable. Clear headed and when I became ill years ago, my patients were never in harms way. I knew enough to remove myself. I always practiced in a safe manner. I have much more awareness into this disorder and have had a lot of therapy on how to manage it.

I was selling myself short. I can do this. My challenge right now is brushing up. I've dedicated the next 4 months to studying and being 100% prepared to go back.

I will be honest, I'm afraid. My confidence has gone but I believe it's all in what you tell yourself.

So just wanted to check in.
