Starting a side business

For those of you who have been following my ridiculous work saga... I've decided to quit regardless of the outcome of the investigation. I'm waiting for the right moment - accruing sick pay and holiday time, keeping my health insurance until this broken finger gets sorted out, etc.

In the meantime, I've started a little side business. I had business cards made and I designed a website last night. I'd share it, but then I'd no longer be anonymous It's a guitar repair shop. I don't have any customers as of yet, I'm just getting things ready.

Here'e the thing, depression is a *****. None of this is making me feel any better. I still feel doomed and trapped. Thanks a lot stupid brain.

Superheroine I didn't see your story of your work saga but based only on this post congratulations for forging through your depression and working toward something positive and potentially life-improving for you.

Hi Superheroine,

I'm sorry but I haven't caught your work saga either, but I'm guessing it's been a really difficult time for you inc. adding fuel to the depression
And coming through, out the end of something like that isn't necessarily going to be easy, it may take time...........but you are in a way on the path to "closure".........and while you're still there reaping some of the benefits, remember that you've earned those benefits/they're your entitlement for the work/effort you've put in.............and there is a brighter future up ahead
And that future is a future you've already started to piece together!!!! KUDOS, and you should be REALLY proud of yourself!!!!
I'm thinking that maybe gradually as you see that business starting to turn over, it might be more then that you start to really feel your accomplishments...........obviously starting to build a business can be hard, but you've taken major steps in putting in the groundwork, and that's MASSIVE!!! Try not to undersell that accomplishment to yourself!!!
It may be "just" a beginning..........but it's such a positive beginning, including that imminent departure from the place of work that has "hung over you so heavily"

Hi Superheroine,

I haven't read your saga either, but this post shows me that you are very strong to do all this when life is so tough.

Kudos to you. Best of luck and good wishes.
