Thanks for pointing this out. It helps me to see things as a positive. It's true that 6 or 7 months ago just doing my simple job was a big accomplishment. It's definitely a sign of healing to want more. -- And to have arranged my schedule so I can start searching for more.

It is not like you suddenly realize you want more and you also have this wonderful energy to go with it and you can cast off the shackles and go out and live.I agree. Especially with a thyroid disorder, or just on antidepressants, I feel so physically exhausted sometimes. And, thanks to my mental illness (ocd,anxiety), I've already had failures in the past that make me scared to try again.
I now find that I'm trying to move forward even in the midst of fear and exhaustion. Right now, I'm trying to apply for a position as a youth group coordinator for GLBT teens. The position actually looks quite easy, but I'm intimidated because I'm so used to doing work that is very simple for me. Application is due Friday, and I'm determined not to follow the old habits -- procrastination, 'forgetting,' etc., that would normally hinder me.Seen any good jobs for you lately?
p.s. (Beardy, wanna check out my resume? I'm at bookgurl99@yahoo.com if u wanna send me an email.)
