Hey @BPDSurvivor I'm still in the early stages of going ahead with the study, as far as I can see the more I learn the more I can use it for myself also going forward. I would love to do something rewarding. When I see myself I like to be happy and helping, so put people in front of me in the environment where my experience would be valued - I see this as something rewarding.
Though when I went for a walk today I see people who can see their whole life behind their eyes, like when they were kids, teenagers, young adults and their current self. For me a part is missing, I'm hoping that while I'm studying I can piece together some of what was lost. In hopes of helping someone else. And what to avoid if needed.
I'm still figuring out myself and need some guidance with friends and family but I don't see this as something which is impossible. So I think a peer worker or something similar would be good for me and the people which I can help.
Thanks for your kind words and perspective and I'm glad you're doing something rewarding. I did get a fair bit of experience in my current career but it's just me going to work, counting hours till I get to go home, sleeping and waking up again imbedded in my mind and that routine needed to change, with the old medication - and my medication change has been beneficial for me too - energy. Which I'm using as fuel for what I want to do next.
I hope you have a good evening
