I left news writing in 2012/2013. I'm looking for prof. writing opps in non profit or corporate communications.
May I ask what field you went back into Ms. Thunder Goddess?

I see, so is the reason you are having trouble finding employment because of mental illness or because of lack of opportunities or both?
I left the customer service industry in 2014, then got rehired as a customer service rep in 2016 at an animal shelter with the purpose of eventually moving to a different department because my goal was to fully leave customer service and work in animal welfare. I achieved that goal and have recently made another goal to become a cruelty officer for spca someday which I intend to achieve.
Without that year off in therapy and working on myself I'd never have made it to where I am now which is why I recommend if you are having mental health issues you nurture and care for them and don't deprive yourself of what you need because you can do amazing things by getting help.
