It’s sucking the life out of me and I don’t want to be stuck behind another spreadsheet ever again.

I want something completely different. I want to be outdoors, on a farm, working with animals, or some kind of a caregiver. I want to be creative, not analytical.
I want to be subjective, not objective. The problem is, I will most likely have to change everything else about my life, too, like where I live, and my lifestyle, because a change like this means cutting my earnings in half, at least. I’m totally OK with that, but I know my family is going to freak out and think that I’m having another episode, or something. Maybe I really am having another episode, or I’m just hypomanic.

So what do I do?
Start searching for jobs on farms or the zoo? Sure your earnings might go down but you never know. You might make more eventually
Thanks for this!
