I am putting out the feelers and I may get back into real estate work. I would limit myself to part time and mostly covering for other agents until I feel I am strong enough to branch out on my own.

I talked to my T and we kind of went over what would be too much and what would be enough.

Good for you! And you're being very smart about it, too! I think it helps to be able to do something productive like work, and to find a balance, too.

best wishes, BNLsMOM,, i know how much a job can help one feel more valuable, and the money certainly doesn't hurt either. watch for those warning signs and do not ignore them, no matter how much you feel you are letting others down, you must keep taking care of YOU~! (lesson learned the hard way),,, Gus

Wow, big move to even start thinking about it like this! You worked this line before, I assume? I kind of got that feeling...

I say: Go For It! My boyfriend has just reopened a real estate business and it is a thought that I may eventually work for him
But for someone really battling with BP, and having not worked for a while, this industry is great for you get started in again, as you can take things slowly.

Here to support you every step of the way! I was in the industry, so I know what you have to look forward to!

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.
