GREAT question. Last year, I was looking for an apt. to get away from my bad apt. situation. That's pretty much what I remember. I didn't have much going on. I was in a dead-end volunteer gig, which I've finally let go of. I've worked 3 retail jobs and quit them all. Not a win. But I learned retail isn't for me, and that I need some real therapy. And I'm proud of myself for being persistent about looking for work despite setbacks.
Today, I'm signing paperwork and doing loan counseling for school that I'll attend in September. I have a boyfriend (holy crap, batman). I successfully completed an ASL 1 class, and went to all of the classes but one. I'm volunteering as a receptionist. I'm actively working towards becoming a certified peer. My therapist's office closed a few months ago - imo, it was a stellar clinic that practiced what they preached and truly served their clients. But, I also think its a good thing to be moving on. Exactly today, I'm filling out an intake evaluation for a new pdoc and yesterday I made an appt with a T for next week.
